    Will there ever be a floppy boot disk for Knoppix 3.6?

    After extensive searching, I found all the necessary materials to make a boot disk...but the only image available is for Knoppix 3.3.

    I am trying to get Knoppix to run on a computer of mine I like to call Old Junker, which has a dead hard drive and only 16 MB of RAM (should still be enough for CLI anyway). The BIOS on it is very dumb, and it can't boot from D: straight away.

    The farthest I've ever gotten was booting with: knoppix 2 init= option, but levels 1, 2 and 3 all return this error:

    INIT: Entering runlevel (number chosen):
    INIT: no processes left on this level
    *freezes*

    Some other errors that appear earlier than this:
    ACPI: Unable to locate RSDP
    isapnp: Unexpected or unknown tag type on device 1, ignored (someone told me this is just a plug 'n' play error)

    a bit later...

    /etc/localtime: unable to run (some nasty message to that effect, I don't remember what it is right now)

    So, will a proper boot.img ever be made for Knoppix 3.6? Or will I just have to get version 3.3?

    Hi,

    This comes up a lot in these forums but it is as simple as booting Knoppix 3.6 on another machine and go to the "KNOPPIX" menu either on the main menu or the Penguin beside the main menu and select "Create Boot Floppies". Note you will need 2 floppy disks with this method and it gives you instructions, so give that a go.
