I'm trying to edit the English boot.img in my remaster of 3.4 cebit edition. In previous knoppixes, there has alsways been a few files that were just fillers- logo.pnm comes to mind... files that had no purpose and could be removed to allow for other, more important files in boot.img to get larger.

What I want to do- replace the logo.16 with my own logo.16 and edit the default boot parameters, and edit the help menu and boot message.

The trouble I'm having- Unless I can remove something in here or get by with a very small logo.16, is that I can't edit these files because they become larger. The boot.img size however is fixed.

I'll post this boot.img for anyone who thinks they can help out. perhaps the german keyboard map that's in there is not used?

Other possible solutiopn- switch to isolinux

My technique is pretty simple-
mkdir tmp
mount -o loop boot-en.img tmp
mv "space-filler" files out of the loop
edit the files I need to edit
cp "space-filler" files back in (and they become partial files to compensate for the increased size of the files I edited)
then unmount the loop

Other possible solution- switch to isolinux type boot.img
