Aha !

Did a little more research and found a solution that works (at least on an IDE box - will try it tomorrow on the old SCSI beast) !

I also made a couple of WiKi updates, so that fellow noobies will have less ttrouble than I did. Path for arriving at the solution:

1. http://knoppix.net/docs/
2. click on _FaqBooting_ link
3. and arrive at http://knoppix.net/docs/index.php/FaqBooting
4. click on _Preparing a Boot/Root Diskette_ link
5. and arrive at http://knoppix.net/docs/index.php/Pr...oot%20Diskette
6. click on _http://knoppix.net/docs/index.php/BootFloppyHowTo_ link
7. and finally arrive at http://knoppix.net/docs/index.php/BootFloppyHowTo .

On this last page I used the _"from KNOPPIX"_ solution. The Windows solution seems OK - I did not try it myself, but made a comment on the page to clarify the actual path to mkfloppy.bat .

Hope it will be easier for others from now on.

Cheers
