This is the reason why I suggested you to use the 98se DOS files in my grubd.zip... (which I know is working fine with grub)

Yes, you need to use the "bootfom=" cheatcode and the minirt_ntfs to boot from the iso file. You can use the "fromhd=" cheatcode to boot from the KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX file and the standard minirt file shoud work as well...
Let me know... Gilles

PS: I just booted knoppix 3.7 and sending this PS after having used the following loadlin.exe command line:
loadlin.exe linux26 -v initrd=minirt~2.gz ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init bootfrom=/dev/hda1/boot/mchp/*big.iso lang=us apm=power-off nomce vga=791 dma quiet noprompt (all on a single line from the loadlin.ex)
It looks like that the end of my long command line is being truncated (dos limitation)...
My setup: hda1 is ntfs and loadlin.exe, linux26 and minirt~2.gz (minirt26_ntfs.gz) is on my fat32 98se DOS partition
Cheers, Gilles
