Well, I searched the net for answers but I cannot solve the problem.I keep getting the message: "Can't find the knoppix filesystem"
I tried to boot with serverall boot options like "dsl nodma" and all but nothing seems to work. What could be the problem
?

The fact that you're getting that message tells us nothing. You need to tell us about your system, and how you're trying to boot DSL, as there are several ways ;) thanks

I had that error too; and while it's unlikely that we're sharing the same problem here, here was my epedemic and how it was fixed. This is actually just a copy/paste of an email i sent to someone who mailed me from this forum, with a similar problem.| Quote |
| My problem was that the file it was looking for was called "KNOPPIX" not "knoppix". Remember that the FAT filesystem has case-sensitive filenames. So to fix it, make up the pen-drive as normal, then rename the "KNOPPIX" file to "knoppix". If this still doesn't work, try renaming the folder that the file is in. Now the file will be: "/knoppix/knoppix" as opposed to "/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX" |
