DSL Tips and Tricks :: How to edit image KNOPPIX



Mr. Hat:  I tried  boot option "knoppix_dir="  a couple dozen times in every conceivable form,  like knoppix_dir=/cdrom/knoppix or knoppix_dir=knoppix or knoppix_dir=/dev/scd0/knoppix et cetera.  Nothing worked.  Every case led to bright red error message  "dropping to a very limited shell".....  I also tried using "knoppix_dri=" option on good, bootable DSL CD [[with CAPITALIZED knoppix folder name]] like knoppix_dir=KNOPPIX.  Using boot option led to "limited shell" while no option boots OK - regardless of various forms tried.  Seems knoppix_dir boot option broken on linux24.  [[I am using DSL 2.2B]]
hrwusesdsl: what device are you using? If you are using some usb, you may want to use dsl-embedded's minirt because that one I believe looks in more devices.

Did those options work before? Samething happened to me, I ended up editing those variables in minirt24.gz/linuxrc directly.
hm, for the 2.x versions where they used the 2.4.31 kernel - I'm not sure.
"knoppix_dir"  boot option never worked for me nohow, noway, ever, at all.  I am booting straight from CD.  Kernel is  2.4.26.
