Swap CD-Roms or swap HDs

Can't you just copy \KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX from the CD to c:\ and make a boot floppy ?

As far as I understand, you need to boot into KNOPPIX to install it and the above method would boot KNOPPIX.

An alternative way would be to start KNOPPIX on one machine(the one you can boot with the CD-ROM) and start the terminal server then remote boot on the other machine, either using floppy or may be bootp/PXE(?)

Now I think my question was a little stupid. I copied the CD in a windows partition and created a boot floppy using the rawrite program aviable in the CD and when I reboot the machine I could finally install KNOPPIX.

Thanks
