I also use for my developments an combination of bootfrom and grub + memdisk + boot.img. I've attached a small script (to share some knowledge ;-) ), that makes it possible to create from an isolinux tree a boot.img, which is bigger than 1.44 MB ... You can then boot that one with memdisk and for example grub. So I do: mount -o loop KNOPPIX.iso /cdrom sudo ./make_floppy_3.4.sh sudo mv boot.img / and I also have memdisk from /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk in /. And in my grub.conf I have: kernel /memdisk initrd /boot.img Works quite well. Also note that for testing changes to the boot you can use qemu. qemu -cdrom test.iso is everything you have to do. Sadly at least in my version it crashes the kernel, when knoppix' init boots up. But with another init (for example the original 2.84 from debian sarge) you can even completely boot and work with it. (I found this out during my research in the field of "knoppix from scratch") Klaus, seems "init 2.78" has some problems still ... :-/ Hope that helps, cu Fabian
