explain this.
Hope this helps, Dirk
I tried the instructions at your site for using grub to boot the ISO
image[1]. Unfortunately, the kernel and initrd are for kernel
version 2.6.7, which did not work for booting Knoppix 4.0.2 with
kernel 2.6.12. I also tried following the instructions on the
knoppix.net site for booting using grup[3]. Unfortunately, that
initrd seem to assume that the ISO resides on an NTFS filesystem[4].
My guess is that magic to make this work is in the initrd.
Do you or anyone else know of an initrd that works with Knoppix's
Linux kernel v2.6.12?

Hi Robert,
Q: Do you or anyone else know of an initrd that works with Knoppix's
Linux kernel v2.6.12 ?
A: The linux Kernel v2.6.12 which is used by Knoppix 4.02 and
the boot ramdisk minirt_ntfs.gz both contained inside the link:
[4] http://s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/kno402.zip referred by
[3] http://knoppix.net/wiki/Win_Partition and
[5] http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11796
will not only allow you to boot Knoppix from the iso file being on a
ntfs partitions,
but also from fat16/32, reiser, or ext2/3.
The link [5] will also describe other features, as an update for
Knoppix 5.0,
a HowTo boot Knoppix from a USB dongle and have Knoppix booting
with a custom static or dynamic (date-time or mac address) hostname.
My two cents,
