    How to create a bootfloppy once Knoppix is installed on HD

    Hello Knoppix gurus,

    I have installed Knoppix 32 on a VMWARE virtual machine for learning Linux without interferance of other Operating Systems.
    The only OS is Knoppix - no dual boots with other OS whatsoever.
    The HD-Install went fine and during the install I selected not to create a boot floppy.
    I've customized the environment and rebooted from HD : all OK and it all works fine.
    Now, I want to create a "rescue floppy disk" to boot from just in case the HD boot process goes wrong.
    In VMWARE one can use a "virtual floppy drive", ie. a flp-file.
    My question is : what are the steps to execute to create such a bootable floppy disk under Knoppix?

    Dunno about using vmware but mkboot as root in a term should get you a boot floppy.

    Thank you rickenbacherus for your reply.
    You're absolutely right : mkboot did the trick.

    Thanks again.
