Re: [debian-knoppix] Possible way to use larger kernels



Well, if there is really no other CD boot method,
maybe it would not be so bad to suggest using a 
DOS boot image with a CDROM driver and loadlin, 
which will then boot a linux kernel located on the 
main part of the CD  ...?

stuff will either have to be left out of the kernel,
people with old hardware forgotten about, or another
way of making a boot floppy.  That's what I'm talking
about -- whether it would be possible to create a boot
floppy that loads a cd driver, then loads the boot
image (whether it uses floppy, hard drive, or no
emulation) that is on the cd.
