There must be a way to boot off the hard drive as if it were the CD-ROM drive. I copied the Knoppix CD to a folder on my FAT32 hard drive after reading in a post that it should work, and made the boot floppy from the Knoppix CD, but Knoppix couldn't find the folder on the HD. I did not look at the files on the floppy. Maybe they can be altered to point Knoppix to the HD. After all, the files are the same whether they are on CD or floppy, right?
