Topic: Another linux boot cd with mini-knoppix

I have search throughout the forums and have tried many solutions.  I cannot get the mini-knoppix to work.  It does use the isolinux.bin just like regular knoppix.  I tried the bootinfotable and it got it to boot the mini knoppix but gave cannot find file system error.  On previous solutions, it shows to run bootinfotable; run knoppix.bin.  The big file on the miniKnoppix is just called knoppix.  Should I rename it to knoppix.bin and put it in the ezboot folder?.  Also, if I did that would all the knoppix files be put in the ezboot folder or the disk1 folder.  Another question, the iso has 2 folders: boot and Knoppix. Do these need to be placed in /disk1/boot and /disk1/Knoppix or does they need to be combined and just placed into /disk1.  Are these folders case sensitive with linux?  Someone said extract the bootinfo from the iso using UltraISO.  How exactly do you find the bootinfo using that program?  Is that just referring to the .bin file or is there something I am not seeing?

One more thing...

I have wasted a lot of test cd's tryin to get it to work.  I am sure a lot of others have too.  Is there any program that can simulate a boot sequence to see if it works instead of having to burn to the cd and restarting?

thanks for all the help.

Hi inimicaljords,

I have the same problems with "DSL" and "FLONIX" with the EZBOOT Plugin of "TeleTom". This Plugin work fine with one "WinPE", with DOS and Acronis Programs, but not with a second "WinPE" (For Sample "UBCD4Win") or Linux.

If somebody has an Idea !!!!

Thanks !!!

use mkisofs instead of the MakeISO function provided by EasyBoot
i have found that EasyBoot generated ISO, always cause booting problems

use below command, it should work for you

mkisofs.exe -iso-level 4 -J -joliet-long  -r -duplicates-once -hide-rr-moved -force-uppercase -volid "WinXPE" -publisher EasyBoot -A MKISOFS -sysid "Win32" -b "EZBOOT/loader.bin" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -hide boot.catalog -hidden EZBOOT -o "C:\EasyBoot\BootCD.iso" "C:\EasyBoot\disk1"
