Hi,is it possible to boot DSL 4.2.5 from ISO-File? I want to perform a hd-install after booting. But I've no chance plug in a CD-ROM or USB to the computer. On the notebook is DSL 4.1 currently installed. I've loaded the 4.2.5.iso and copied "KNOPPIX", "linux24", and "minirt24.gz" to this folder "/boot/dsl245". This is the entry in the menu.lst:
"vga=788" is taken from the line DSL 4.1 is booting from. The DSL splash screen occurs but the boot process stops with a failure: "can't find KNOPPIX filesystem". What's wrong? Thx for any assistance. Benjamin Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on April 10 2008,21:03
Take your pick:- the KNOPPIX file is only autosearched from /KNOPPIX so if you copy/move it to /KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX it should be found - use the knoppix_dir= cheatcode to specify where KNOPPIX resides (in this case it's probably /boot/dsl425/KNOPPIX ) - booting directly from an ISO file is probably more complicated, but instead of fiddling around with the KNOPPIX file, you could use the bootfrom= cheatcode to look at an ISO Posted by bbruecker on April 10 2008,21:51
I've moved KNOPPIX to the /KNOPPIX and it worked. Easy.Thx, Benjamin |
