the DriveSpace driver. Used to access compressed disks. If you don't have any, feel free to delete.

P.S. I find a 'boot key' quicker.


(1) Install LILO into the boot sector of some other partition (NOT THE MBR.) This will create a 'hidden' bootsector, not a dual-boot.

(2) Insert in a floppy disk (formatted, unformatted, empty, full, WHO CARES!).

(3) Open up a cmd line, become root.

(4) Issue

dd if=/dev/hda2 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1

Replace /dev/hda2 with your knoppix partition. This copies the first 512 bytes of hda2 (the bootsector) into the first 512 bytes of your floppy.

(5) Boot with the floppy. You'll see that it's almost INSTANT. Why? Your DOS boot disk is almost 1/2 a MB. This floppy is half of a KB!
