--If you have 700MB free space on the HD, your best bet is to copy the big Knoppix file from CD to c:\knoppix directory, and use the ' mkfloppy.bat ' file to make a bootdisk, which you then use to boot Knoppix.

--Knoppix does not search for USB or PCMCIA CD drives to boot from.

so my question is : how to mount the usb cdrom and can i add that to the boot.img in the cfg file.
thank you
