To satisfy our curiosity: what does Knoppix on a USB device as a recovery tool give you that Debian on the device doesn't? > I succeeded creating a bootable USB-card based on grub1 but am having > problems with grub2, see http://knoppix.net/wiki/USB_Based_FAQ for > instructions I used. > > Anyone running Knoppix from a USB-card with grub2? How does your > /boot/grub/grub.cfg look like? The question you really wanted to ask was -'How do I boot Knoppix on my Debian machine and copy it to a USB stick?' Which would have nicely put us on-topic. Anyway: in /etc/grub.d/40_custom put menuentry "Knoppix Adriane" { set root=(hd0,1) loopback loop /boot/isos/knoppix-adriane.iso linux (loop)/boot/isolinux/linux bootfrom=/dev/sda1/boot/isos/knoppix-adriane.iso initrd (loop)/boot/isolinux/minirt.gz } changing (hd0,1) and sda1 to suit your situation. Run 'update-grub' and boot into Knoppix. Get a terminal, plug in a USB stick and transfer Knoppix to it with 'flash-knoppix'. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
