Hi,

I'm using knoppix on some weird hardwares. Customized the kernel and miniroot.gz (linuxrc) to work with them - should be ok. However, the boxes can't boot off their CDROM or FLOPPY (which are USB).

In the days of DOS-based windows versions, I'd have just remastered knoppix to include loadlin and a script that loads the kernel and initrd. However, as far as I can tell, loadlin doesn't work from NT-based kernels such as Win2k.

I'd like to include some program in my knoppix CD, which can be executed from windows, kick windows out of memory (like loadlin does for dos), and bootstrap a kernel/initrd set.

Anyone knows a method to achieve that ?
