[debian-knoppix] Feature Request: booting with KNOPPIX dir in NTFS ?



Hello,

Everybody on this list should know that you can copy the KNOPPIX directory and the KNOPPIX file into a fat/vfat/??? file system and boot from a floppy.

What would it take to change the boot floppy, search for KNOPPIX file script in order to try to mount (Read-Only) NTFS file system and check for the presence of KNOPPIX there?

My guess is that it might be a political or space issue. Or is it technical because of the stability of NTFS file system code in Linux kernel?

But considering all the PC pre-installed with a single NTFS partition and the benefice in speed/noise/availability of CDrom drive when you copy KNOPPIX file on HD, it would be nice to have feature.
