How to boot knoppix with USB CDROM

[oaaltone]

just copy the big 700M file from the CD to c:\knoppix\ so it becomes c:\knoppix\knoppix and boot with the CD-ROM.

I am assuming your c: is FAT, if it is NTFS this won't work(well may be it would work as the cloop may have been recoded to cope with NTFS, haven't tested that for a long time).

I'm aware of this workaround, but was not aware that it would work with my NTFS partition. I will give it a shot later.

The FAQ says it won't work, so I didn't even bother trying. Anyone want to tell me how to make an .iso from Windows with USB support, or perhaps send one to me?

Doing it in windos is probably very difficult if not impossible. But USB based CD drives are becoming common especially with light notebooks so I think that would be a good thing for Klaus or someone doing a remaster to consider. I'd try it myself but I don't have any hardware to test it on...

Definitely something to consider. MandrakeMove boots off the USB drive fine... but Knoppix is a much better LiveCD distro.
