Flonix, i'm impressed

[3133]

I've tried to install Flonix to my usb key a couple of times, but without success. I use a floppy to boot, but when the key is accessed, up pop the error messages:-

Accessing Flonix USB...cat: No file /KNOPPIX/etc/ld.so.cache

rm: not found
awk: not found

and so on until:-

kernel panic

All the required files appear to be on the key, and I can't work out where I have goofed.
Suggestions would be much appreciated.

I got the same messages. This is what I have done:
I have formatted my USB 64MB Pen drive using FAT. I have booted the Knoppix CD mounted the Pen Drive and copied Flonix USB edition on it (I have some files and knoppix directory in the root directory of the Pen Drive). I have created floppy disk with boot.img.
Anyway, system stops at the moment described by 3133. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Thanks in advance

Is there any documentation of how to store the USB files on your USB drive, such as what filesystem you should use, etc? I can't get it to work either!!

Also, what is the default root password for flonix? There is no documentation so I have no idea!!

sudo su

maybe?

I have and external hd enclosure USB 2. Inside I have and 6 gb HDD formated in an unique partition with FAT 32. I only copied the uncompressed files in the root carpet. Create a boot diskette and then reboot the machine.

One tip! When you launch your machine with knoppix and connect your USB drive it appears in the desktop?. I have had 4 USB devices, and only 2 works under linux. All of them work with windows. Maybe your USB drive is windows only, and in that case, your floppy linux drive won't be able to see them.

If it's like the other Knoppix based / derived distro's it's blank, You can use su or sudo. Try typing

passwd root

and change it to what you want, note that it is not permanant.

You will find that <flonix> works as password! So obvious that it becomes really helpful as well as keeping out the uninitiated.

I have one build of flonix, but how do I install the .iso from HD to USB-stick?

Where can I found latest version of usb-Flonix?
