Not exactly. In particular no root is givan/needed, and the initrd is outside the append directive. It's crucial that the linux24 kernel starts with this initrd, within which the startup script will try to find the KNOPPIX image - from a CD or otherwise (which btw is why you might have to add SCSi emulation for IDE devices, eg "hdg=ide-scsi"). Now if you discard suggestions and don't even bother trying...
Hi, sorry for not trying out it's rather late here already and I get tired. I gave it a try ... and it works! Very nice, thank you very much for your help! Now the only problem remaining is that Knoppix thinks my Intuos tablet is the primary mouse and the intuos driver obviously doesn't work (= the mouse is moving but stays in the top of the screen -- damn l). But I guess that topic is worth another thread.

Thanks
