Thanks for this nice howto, but I have an additional challenge ...

My challenge: I cannot boot Knoppix > 3.4 in the first place, because, for example, Knoppix 3.8, Knoppix 3.9, Knoppix 4.0.1 and so on have a kernal that Oopses instantly because of my hardware-configuration in the first place. This is also true for ubuntu 5.04 boot-cds etc. The debian 3.1 Sarge loadmod also oopses (but the install continues, if needed).

The culprit is the Highpoint 372 IDE controller. Something is very flawed in this kernal code. No matter which kernal boot option I try, or if I try kernal 2.4 versus 2.6, etc. - it oopses.

Thus, I have to replace the Knoppix kernal from an environment _outside_ of Knoppix.

I could, for example, install SuSe 9.1 , or boot Knoppix 3.4 , ... and then what? How do I use this for replacing the Kernal out of the ISO image? Is there a tool available?
Or could I be so renitent as to simply use Total Commander's ISO file support to replace a few files inside the ISO and get my own compiled Kernal booting?

(Uh, I just tried this on the 4.4 gig Debian 3.1 Sarge ISO: I can't spot the kernal file. Uh-oh.)

Any help very appreciated.
