Is there any way to boot directly from my HD or do I have to use the floppy that knoppix created? If no then.....

How can I backup the floppy? They aren't exactly reliable!

To backup the floppy open a console window with the floppy in the drive and as root dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/path/desired/to/store/knoppixboot.img then to write to a floppy also as root dd if=/path/to/knoppixboot.img of=/dev/fd0. To boot from the HD you will have to check your /etc/lilo.conf file and make sure that it has the proper settings for your setup then run as root /sbin/lilo -v to write the file to the HD so it can be used. If you need help with this then you should post the /etc/lilo.conf and tells us where the / partition is hda1, hda5, hdb1 ... and if you have any other OS's installed on the machine.
