Hi,

This post refers to the HD boot of the compressed system - something I want to do. In the FAQ, I found the following (also referred to above):

__________________________________________________ __________

1.5 Run Microsoft Windows 98 or 95, copy Knoppix to HD & boot with loadlin
a) Open ISO with [WinImage] Extract extract the directory ISO:\KNOPPIX\ to C:\ (The C:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX file should be 700MB)

b) Open the C:\KNOPPIX\boot.img with WinImage and extract vmlinuz and miniroot.img to C:\KNOPPIX\Loadlin (you will need to create this directory)

c) Download loadling 1.6c or later to C:\KNOPPIX}\Loadlin\ (remmember to extract it)

now reboot to DOS, you can do this by pressing F8 while rebooting the computer.

Change directory to the loadlin dir: "CD KNOPPIX\loadlin"

Execute loadlin "loadlin.exe vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 lang=en ro"

Now Knoppix should boot..

Well, I got part 'a' to work fine and I have used part 'c' onward to boot other flavours of linux from the HD.

But, although I found 2 versions of 'miniroot' (ie: 2.4 and 2.6) I can not find 'vmlinuz' - unless it is actually the files called 'linux24' and 'linux26' in the /boot/isolinux/ directory.

Can anyone help?

Regards,

Geoff.
