hmm, I think, there is a way to get Linux running from the Multi-Boot CD/DVD:

Is it possible to Boot Linux (Setup/Live-Disk) with SYSLinux (http://syslinux.zytor.com/faq.php)

"SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which operates off an MS-DOS/Windows FAT filesystem."

My thinking: Make a Floppy Image with the BootLoader in it and user CDShell to extract and WUSH - Linux booting...

Is it possible or not?

Help me please guys, Im not that professionally to get it working alone... :/

Take look at this http://www.ezbsystems.com.
I'm using for multiboot applications and system installation

mkay, i know this proggy, but i want to use cdshell because of some reasons... SYSLinux is a bootloader for linux running from FAT/16 (short, runnable from floppy) So, if I configure it correctly and make an floppy-image using winimage 6.10, it should boot up linux (extracted iso in /KNOPPIX for example), isnt it? :/

thank you!

YAY!
I got it working a little bit! laugh.gif

OK, it was quite simple this far ehehe yes.gif

The authors of KNOPPIX added a floppy image (with kernel and such stuff) with it's help you can boot Knoppix! You can find it in /KNOPPIX/boot.img
If I boot from this floppy-image, it works! But... I'm really noob in linux and don't know, how to boot the linux-image (/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX)

So, please help me with the prompt, is it something like:

vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=??????
