Hey-

I've been unable to boot directly from my USB-drive-Knoppix (I ran the flash-install utility) alone, falling back on a CD/DVD boot and then typing:
Code:
knoppix fromhd=/dev/sdb1
which worked okay, but now I've been able to try it on another system which has (apparently) a good BIOS, and I didn't need the CD. I've gotten some updated BIOS files, but am reluctant to flash the BIOS, as it seems like a failure might render the PC useless. I've been looking as I went along, and I've come across some alternatives, specifically SuperGRUB and THE Lin'N'WinNewB PROJECT, and I'm a bit at sea. I'm also looking at Unetbootin and wonder if it can help. Does anyone have a good grasp of all the issues and feel able to offer a useful perspective?
