I use magiciso to edit knoppix iso image. it works without any problem.
http://www.magiciso.com/

I tried magiciso to make a DSL 2.4 DVD along with many packages and Windows softwares. The total size is 4287MB. The DVD could boot to where DSL tried to load the knoppix image but then it failed. It returned that there is no knoppix image and then dropped to a very basic shell. I checked the DVD and knoppix image is there. I also checked the DVD image properties, and the Rock Ridge option is on for linux systems. Anyone knows what might have happened?

What are the last few screen messages you get before the kernel tries to load the KNOPPIX image (delete the "quiet" boot option)?

Is there a message that the root filesystem is being mounted read-only? If so, this might be the problem.

Dreamcarrior, I encountered the exact same problem - dropping to a very limited shell after a customized disk burn -, so this may be relevant....

I burned a custom CD with DSL and other stuff. I noticed that my custom CD had a folder named "knoppix" repeat "knoppix" - no caps - while just burning the ISO from Ibiblio created a folder named "KNOPPIX" - caps.

Linux is very touchy about caps. And for some weird reason, every time I tried to create a folder named KNOPPIX on a vfat file system, the folder came out uncapitalized. So I re-mastered my DSL CD using folder /ramdisk while DSL was running. /ramdisk under DSL is an ext2 filesystem.

It worked. KNOPPIX in caps was created with:
" mkdir /ramdisk/workfolder2 "
" mount -o loop /mnt/sda1/dsl-image /mnt/sda1/workfolder1/ "
" cp -dpr /mnt/sda1/workfolder1/* /ramdisk/workfolder2/ "
then I added stuff to " workfolder2 " then I used mkisofs to create a new ISO image output back on drive sda1.

Only problem with this is that my /ramdisk is limited to about 300 MB, so this will not work for your 4 GB DVD. You will need a hard drive with an ext2 partition. Assuming capitalized folders on vfat is the source of your problem.

If that was your problem, you can boot with knoppix_dir=knoppix instead if you only have access to vfat partitions.

i don't think it will help, but i've used isomaster to edit knoppix's image, and there's no problem at all. on linux, my dvd can boot into dsl 3.1, and on w*ndows, it still be used as a w*ndows software collection
