Were you saying that the total amount of RAM and swap needs to add up to 1.5 gig? That's certainly more reasonable.

The total of SWAP and RAM added together needs to be 1.5Gig. so you'll do fine with 256MB ram and 1.25 gig swap.

Well, I don't think so

I've created my own knoppix succesfully in a notebook P-II 266 with 160 Mb + 160 Mb swap. Greetings for de how2, it's very good

Anyone found the answer yet? This is the last problem I'm having, and I'm dying to finish my remastered Knoppix CD!

I successful remaster KNOPPIX, I installed new theme styles, icons,background,etc...
but I like change the icons and style default on my new ISO, so my question is: how can I change on shell console preferences on KDE,and make KDE use them on my new iso cd? I need some HOW TO. Thanks!

I'd like to put some extra big files on the knoppix boot disk, some vmware images

That stuff will not fit into the 700M of a CD. I created an image (which ended up being about 1G) using the regular remastering instructions. When I tried to boot, I get an error during boot:

Accessing KNOPPIX CDROM at /dev/scd0.../modules/cloop.o: init_module:
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect modules parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit.

...

Does anyone know how to make KNOPPIX work off of a DVD? It'd allow me to put tons more stuff on that disk. Whoot.

Has anyone ported the filesystem image prep tools (compress/expand) from cloop to DOS or Windows? It sure would make it easier for us mostly-Windows-users to make small changes/additions to the KNOPPIX file, using Windows-based ISO editors.
