knoppix 3.6
hd install on laptop
ibm r40 laptop
hda1 win98 (for bochs and wine)
hda2 swap
hda3 knoppix

running synaptic (graphifc front end for apt)
and was updating system and saw there were new knoppix modules so without paying enough attention (the cause of 1/2 my problems) i installed cloop for knoppix without realizing but i figured it out real quick when the system triesd to load itself into ram on a reboot....

hmmm 5 gb install into 512 mb ramm yup didnt exaclty work....

so i removed any reference of cloop under mtab and fstab


checked my lilo conf and looked god ( did all this from the cdrom---/mnt/hda3/etc.....


and removed kloop.ko from lib modules folders but still havnt slain the beast any ideas would be apreciated but i need to do it without the system loaded since thats the root of my problems otherwise id just uninstall cloop or use webmin or debconf etc to disable

thanks much
