This method of booting
Code:
 knoppix bootfrom=/dev/hda1/you_home/your_sub_directory/etc/K*.iso
is so convienient I am wondering why the distributions dont use two .iso's.
One knoppix.iso which contains just enough to get to the booting stage and this first knoppix.iso is burned to a CD as usual, and then second larger knoppix2.iso which has all the main goodies on it. The second knoppix2.iso then is not restricted to just 700MB as it need never be burned to disk and the second knoppix2.iso is stored somewhere conveniently located on the harddisk and booted from the code used when booting the first knoppix.iso in the CD player.

perhaps it is also possible to boot a DVD knoppix.iso from a CD player this way? Haven't tried it. My download speed groans at even CD.iso's
Perhaps with the new
Code:
apt-get install aria2
it will all be possible at lightning speed. see

many comments please.
