This works great! Has anybody worked out whether its possible to do this
without the bootfloppy, directly from GRUB?
BTW. it would be nice if /dev/cdrom mounted the partition from /KNOPPIX
downwards, not just the whole partition. Then one could put the
index.html file in /KNOPPIX/index.html and keep the default bookmarks
in the browser working.
