| Quote (jconlon @ May 17 2005,14:54) | I too am stuck trying to get the KNOPPIX file system to load on a diskless computer. I get the mini root and the Kernel to load but not the filesystem.
I get to the prompt:
Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
Before I am dropped into a constrained shell.
I am using a PXE enabled mini-itx as a diskless client, dnsmasq as the DHCP server, and TFTP, PXELinux, an NFS on a RH 9 workstation, kernel and mini root from the dsl 1.1 release.
Here is my pxelinux.cfg:
----------------------------------
DEFAULT linux24
APPEND root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.8:/var/tftpboot/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init initrd=minirt24.gz BOOT_IMAGE=/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX vga=791 frugal nomce nodma
IPAPPEND 1
-----------------------------------
Can someone point out where I have blundered?
thank you,

Hi,
I am also wanting to try this out and hoped to find more help on this topic. 
However, I did manage to get another great distro running on FC3 - GeexBox!!! Only thing that I can point out (after much trail and error myself), is that the line: BOOT_IMAGE=/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
actually needs to include the filename of the image itself as well as (I think it was something like "linuz.0" on Geexbox)
Anyway, I 'll try it out this week sometime and will post my settings on FEDORA CORE 3 as soon as I cracked it. I think this would be SO helpful for home. I'll probably cut it down and even use it to dual boot our lab machines at work!
