All very well; but in the USB-ZIP format there's no extra room in the partition in which KNOPPIX is located....

What does one do then?

Use the remaining second partition sda2

If one has used the standard USB-ZIP instal scripts then the syslinux.cfg should already be setup with the following two boot options restore=sda2 and mydsl=sda2

Now after having read "Getting Started" it should make sense.

Want to change the boot options in a USB-ZIP install?
As root edit /cdrom/syslinux.cfg

Thanks. (I'm a different person than the one who needed the "getting started" script.) I assume I need root privileges to write to sda2; sdo emelfm?

I'd actually kludged a fix in the mean time: I used parted in a different machine to resize the partitions. Works fine so far.
