Knoppix with 2.6.7 kernel from non-bootable CD-ROM

You want to start Knoppix and your CD-ROM cannot boot either for technical or administrative reasons. You can try to start the Knoppix CD from a floppy drive. For that you need a Knoppix boot diskette.

The recent Knoppix 3.4 of May 2004 relies on kernel 2.4.x but has kernel 2.6.6 as an option. Likewise, Knoppix 3.7 of August 20 has the 2.6.7 kernel as an option. This last release is - for the time being - only available in Germany as a CD from a computer magazine. However, a general release, possibly with kernel 2.6.8, is coming and so it is sensible to refer to the new kernel because its size is growing and growing and causing diskette distress.
