How do I do an ISO boot with Knoppix 5?

**MikeCampo** · 03-17-2006, 05:13 AM

I have been booting the Knoppix 4.0.2 iso from my hard drive with no problems. I followed the wiki guide on this site, and that's where I got the necessary files. I tried swapping the old ISO with the new Knoppix 5 and when I tried to boot it with Grub I get quite a lot of errors about missing the file modules.dep. It eventually boots to the desktop, but I have no mouse support. Do I have to wait for a new set of files that are needed to boot this new version? Or is there any way I can get this to work with what I have?

Thanks.

I tried using that file yesterday but it gave me a crap load of errors and it booted into a limited shell. I'll look at my configurations again, maybe I just messed something up.

Please check that you use the kernel 2.6.15 ("linux" file 1'607'265 bytes long)
which is included in the Knoppix 5.0 iso /boot/isolinux directory.

PS: I have now included in my previous link a zip file with the kernel and a menu.lst sample.
