I have a successfully burned CD and have booted Knoppix from this in one computer, but my real aim is to use Knoppix on a computer that will not boot from CD. Using the working Knoppix computer, I created the pair of floppies for booting, but whenever I try these (and I've tried them on 3 different machines, including the one that I booted from the CD) I get as far as the point that I'm asked to insert the "root floppy".

So I insert the second of the floppies, and I get this message

"Invalid compression format (err=2)"

I've repeated the floppy creation process, but the problem remains.

What should I be trying here?

Thanks for any help.
