Other Help Topics :: Booting DSL from DOS

Hi Henk,
I'm doing something stupid in trying to implement your method using loadlin. I get a kernel panic: No init found. I have copied the KNOPPIX directory into c:\dsl. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? --jim

Yes,

First off, the knoppix directory should be

C:\knoppix

and not in C:\dsl\knoppix

So the big knoppix file is at:

c:\knoppix\knoppix

Secondly, you need to copy the linux24 and minirt24.gz files from a DSL USB boot floppy disk.

Search the forums on how to make a USB version of the boot floppy.

You will need a copy of the USB boot floppy image (at the damnsmalllinux.org download site) and a copy of rawrite32 floppy imaging program for windows (search google for a copy).

Good Luck.
