Hi Folks!

I tried "my" way again with the Knoppix Version v3.6 (KNOPPIX_V3.6-2004-08-16-DE.iso) and it works.

Just follow these steps:

-Copy the folder (cdrom:\boot\)ISOLINUX folder from cd to your harddisk

-Rename the isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg and DELETE boot.cat & isolinux.bin

-Download the attached file and unzip it, start winimage, load/open the file

-Put all files from ISOLINUX folder on your harddisk into the image file

There should be 12 files in your image: boot.msg, f2, f3, german.kbd, ldlinux.sys, linux24, linux26, logo.16, memtest, minirt24.gz, minirt26.gz, syslinux.cfg

-If that's correct SAVE the image


You have to put this image in your AIODVD folder. I have a folder called images and put there all my images (also the 4320.img) i need, and i start them via cdshell with the following line

if ($lastKey == key[k]); then bcdw /images/4320.img

If there are any problems, read the above 2-3 times

When there are still problems, let me know and i'll try to help you.

Ich denke, das ist einfach ausgedrückt. Ich habe grade keinen Bock das zu übersetzen

Dieses cdmenu.cmd habe ich noch nicht getestet.

After a few hours, I finally got Knoppix v3.7 running flawlessly off of my AIO-DVD (which includes UBCD4Win v2.41, which uses Bart's PEBuilder v3.1.3). For me, it came down to one simple problem: The 'Knoppix' folder in the root of my AIO-DVD was marked as 'hidden'.

I hide the 'PRO1', 'UBCD', 'CDSH', etc, folders to make the DVD 'look' nicer (only my Setup and Software folders and a few files are normally visable). Hiding the 'Knoppix' folder causes Knoppix to give the error message:

Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit.

I hope this helps some of you.


For those of you new to this thread looking for a quickfix, this is what I did:
1. Download KNOPPIX_V3.7-2004-12-08-EN.iso from http://www.knoppix.net/.
2. Open this file file in WinRAR.
3. Extract the 'boot/isolinux' and the 'KNOPPIX' folders to the root directory of your AIO-DVD.
4. Add the following line to cdshell.ini:

if $lastKey == key[3]; then bcdw boot /isolinux/isolinux.bin

5. You may mark the 'boot' folder as hidden if you like.
6. Do NOT mark the 'KNOPPIX' folder as hidden.

your way works, of course. but there's the problem with the knoppix bootscreen. when you boot other tools like e.g. Partition Magic it will flash the Knoppix bootscreen and then boot to Partition Magic. it's only a cosmetic problem, but with my mentioned way it works without this flashing knoppix bootscreen. i've tested it with KNOPPIX_V3.8.1-2005-04-08-DE.iso

it's correct that the knoppix folder must not be marked as hidden.

That's great, I got my DSL to work on my Ultimate DVD, but does any one know about the new Suse Live DVD? or Lindows Live? I'm trying to get these to also work and their structure is much different.

Also does any one know how to make xp and 2000 and 2003 install from a spot other than I386? I've found several PDFs and I can't get them to work. It will eventually install but I have to tell it like 30 times during the install to look in the right directory other than I386.

could anyone please please please sum this up for me? cause i'm having some problems, i'm trying to add a Helix boot cd on to my dvd but that doesn't have all thouse boot files you guys are talking about, and unfortunaly i'm not good with linux. I'm trying to get this to work, and i've been looking through the whole page msfn.org page as well as i could, only to find nothing that can actually help me here, the system is still knoppix but only a build 2.6.10 and i can't find any way for it to boot, please help?

Sorry i know this is a bit of an old thread but it relates to my issue..

trying to get knoppix v-4 to run off my AIO dvd. Has latest UBCD (dos) on it and win xp so far. All is working except knoppix. I dont know if i am using a different version of bcdw but when i run

bcdw /isolinux/isolinux.bin

I get an error saying invalid BCDW command.
I have it set up in cdshell menu like this

if ($lastKey == key[f1]); then bcdw /ISOLINUX/isolinux.bin

I dont know if that matters or not though.

I used cdimage like this to make the iso, then used virtual pc to test.

E:\>start cdimage.exe -lAIODVD -h -j1 -b\AIO-DVD\BOOT\loader.bin -o -m -yd -k \AIO-DVD E:\AIODVD.iso

Sounds like a syntax error or something.. anyone have any suggestions?


EDIT: Very sorry everyone, I did do a search in the forum, nothing came up... however IF I had spelt BCDW correctly I would have found a post stating bcdw v 2 has different syntax...

if ($lastKey == key[f1]); then bcdw boot /ISOLINUX/isolinux.bin

again sorry for the silly post :/

Hi byte.chaser,

Here's the syntax I'm using;

if $lastKey == key[5]; then memdisk /4320.IMA

Go to post #41 and download his image file and give it a go.

I am using this guide to make a linux multiboot. Right now I'm working on DSL and I would like to make the KNOPPIX File System specifically reserved. How can I change /KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX to DSLINUX/KNOPPIX or better yet KNOPPIX/DSLINUX without screwing this up?

The command I use is:
if $lastKey == key[a]; then memdisk /DSLINUX.IMA

I plan on also putting in:
ChaOS(if I ever get a look at it)
FreeNAS
IP Cop
PHLAK
RIP
Slax

Some of these aren't even based on Knoppix. Can you tell me how you created 4320.img and what it is exactly? I would really like to wrap this up in the next few days.
