Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the group, but not to Unix. I've been involved with it since the early 80's, but haven't used it consisently since then.

I've been looking thru all these forums on how to run/boot Knoppix from
a USB key and haven't found anything recent other than this:

HOWEVER.... After a bit of tinkering and looking thru source code, I have
successfully been able to boot Knoppix 3.6 from a 512MB Sandisk cruzer USB key.

I want to document the complete process because I know how many of you are interested in doing this also.

I'm in a bit of a dilema because I am leaving on a trip in the morning for a couple weeks and won't have time to describe what I did in as much detail as I'd like, but I will try and give a brief description in my next post until I return and can give a step by step description along with what pkgs I removed to fit everything on 512MB.

Cheers,

Mike LaPierre
