I would like to be able to run Knoppix ISO from HD.

Granted, there is the fromhd cheatcode, but with this I always have to extract the /knoppix/knoppix file from the ISO I have downloaded. It would be great if Knoppix could search for Knoppix ISO files lying around on HD at boot time using loop.

It should be feasible by editing linuxrc and/or the init scripts.

With this, you could have a "very poor man's" install by just downloading the Knoppix ISO to HD, copying miniroot.gz and vmlinuz and creating the neccessary LILO/GRUB entries.

No more "unpacking" the 700 MB file from the ISO!

(My dream is to always grab the latest ISO and run it from within the ISO without unpacking - and have the rest of the HD as /home where I also install my software using klik)
