I'm getting close. I started by following the first steps of the remastering article on the O' Reilly web site. I'm not interested in dual-booting NT, but dual-booting Woody is acceptable. So I divided up the hard drive into a swap partition, a 700 MB partition for the CD image, a 150 MB partition for a base bootable Woody and the rest (about 4.5 GB) /home ext2 space. Then I installed Woody to the 150 MB partition and used it to copy the CD onto the 700 MB partition. I managed to get everything to work until I got to the LILO step. It's probably recoverable, unless the reboot didn't sync the hard drive properly on the way down, but it refused to come back up. I'm not sure what I did wrong -- I had to abandon it until tonight. Once I get the LILO part working, I'm pretty sure this will be one way to go.

Question: assuming that I have the Woody partition working, is there something like "loadlin" for Linux that will just boot off the PCMCIA CD or my PCMCIA hard drive? All the compressed loopback driver magic appears to have worked flawlessly for the copy -- couldn't it be used to boot into KNOPPIX??
