[coLinux-devel] knoppix booting on colinux from the iso

[peter g. <plu...@p1...>]

the knoppix version this was developed with was
KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-09-22-EN.iso

the colinux version this was developed with was 20040509 snapshot

download http://www.p10link.net/colinux-knoppix-first.zip
extract the zip into your colinux dir
edit the paths in knoppix.xml
run colinux-knoppix.bat

because knoppix modifies its irigina file system (it assumes its an initrd)
the batchfile copies miniroot.img and uses the copy miniroot.boot as the
boot device however miniroot.img is availible as /dev/cobd2 for editing
reasons

the current version boots to a console maybe i'll try and add xvnc later ;)
