pr0f3550r: This is unrelated to Knoppix. I'm refering to the file named KNOPPIX, which is the compressed filesystem in DSL. EDIT: It probably isn't unreated to Knoppix, now that I think of it, but my point still stands that I'm working with DSL here, not Knoppix. As DSL progresses, it becomes less and less like Knoppix, and therefore less likely that support should be expected from Knoppix users and developers.
Rephrase: It would be useful for me to have multiple frugal installs as an option, so I can quickly swap in a release candidate or remastered version without having to disable my current stable version of DSL.
doobit: Using multiple logical partitions would be illogical (stupid pun intended), because I have no idea how many versions of DSL I will eventually want available at one time, and also because I know it's possible to do this using one partition (I just don't know the specifics). The /home and /opt are not a problem...it's all about choosing the appropriate kernel and KNOPPIX file arbitrarily from Grub.
I received a message this morning about a solution that should work (thank you, Chris =o)). I'll post it here when I know first-hand if it does exactly what I think it does.
