CD?

Pendrive Universal USB Installer is a Windows program
that allows you to make LiveUSBs directly from isos.

It currently lists Knoppix V7 as one of its offerings.
You might give this a try. You'll need an 8 Gb usb to include persistence.

Caveats are:
0. If it's called 'V7' it must be a DVD-size offering (today, anyway).
1. This is not a Knopper product.
2. If this is the CeBIT Knoppix 7, it may have some errors and it's not the latest.
3. You may not have a way to verify like testcd or checksum; I don't know.

We'd be happy to hear how this works for you.

Thanks. Wow, 8 GB. The biggest size I have is 1 GB. Heh. Another reason for CD version. I will just wait.

8 Gb Class 10 SDHCs are $7, sport.

Actually, I had already used qemu-kvm to create flash directly, I just forgot about it, see http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/293...or-root-device post #10. (It runs best in 64-bits system, and I haven't used that since remastering 6.7.0.

Then "Install Knoppix to flash disk" can be used in the virtual machine.

I think anything below 8GB (good brands cost from about $10) is rather impractical for Flash Knoppix 7.X. But masochism is of course an option

But I will have to buy one of those memory card slots. Do they even work fully with very old computers?

An 8GB USB stick may be the safest bet for old computers. The SD cards have changed a bit, at least my old DSLR thinks so..

Yeah, I will have to get one of bigger sizes. Of couse assuming the PC can boot from USB devices. I know Dell Dimension 8250 PCs can't. Blah!

I use a Sony adapter. So long as your USB is USB-2, It'll work fine.

For your first attempt,
buy a Class 10 SDHC but don't buy a premium class jobbie unless you are into
using a video camera. And don't pay more than 1$ per Gb.

After that, treat yourself to something more expensive if you think you still want it.

Cheers.
