    Adding Software from another CD

    I need to add a 3rd party vendor's software to Knoppix CD that we'll be using in house. The stilly thing has to be installed from a CD. I don't have two CD drives and it appears that Knoppix CD wants to keep the drive all to itself. Will I need to do a Harddrive Install before I remaster? Please tell me there is an easier way.

    As always thanks in advance.

    This is what I ended up doing. I hope it isn't the cause of my other errors

    First I boot back to the host sytem's normal OS (RH9).
    Then I do
    Code:
     
    dd if=/dev/cdrom of=mysoft.img
    This creates an img of the CD. I check it with both sum -r and cksum
    Then I boot back to Knoppix.

    From a Knoppix root window I first mount my hd. Then I do
    Code:
    mount -t iso9660 /path/to/mysoft.img /path/to/mountpoint -o loop
    In this case the mountpoint was the cdrom dir in the source dir of my kustomized knoppix. I then chroot to that source directory. I then installed the software.

    Now my new problem is that when I try to run the sofware I get the following error:
    "cannot execute binary file"

    Now after a lot of searches on google, the best I can figure this comes from not having binfmt-support enabled. However when I do
    Code:
    apt-get install binfmt-support
    I get the following output
    Code:
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    Package binfmt-support is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    E: Package binfmt-support has no installation candidate
    Now what can I do?

    Thanks in advance.

    One more update.

    I did a file on the file and this was the result:
    ELF 32-bit MSB executable, IBM S/390, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

    Does this mean I need to find a version of Knoppix which has Linux 2.2.5 instead of 2.6 or whatever it is now.
