knoppix bootfrom=/dev/????/KNX.iso Select a particular image name to boot from, when the
image exists on an NTFS or ReiserFS file system on the
selected hard disk. The kernel versions on the CD and
hard disk image must match.
Special Features and Workarounds
The following list suggests some workarounds for booting and running KNOPPIX that you may
find helpful. Other boot options are described in the knoppix-cheatcodes.txt file that comes
on the KNOPPIX CD (open the KNOPPIX folder from the KNOPPIX icon on the desktop to find
the file). Things you can do with boot options include changing the splash screen when KNOPPIX
boots, running in expert mode so you can load your own drivers, testing your computer??™s RAM,
and trying to overcome special problems with laptop computers.
 Testing the CD??”If you suspect that you have a bad KNOPPIX CD, I recommend running
this from the boot prompt:
knoppix testcd
If you are still not able to boot KNOPPIX at this point, it might be that your hardware is
either not supported or is broken in some way. To further pursue the problem, check out
an appropriate forum at www.knoppix.net.
 Running KNOPPIX from RAM??”To improve performance, KNOPPIX offers a way to
run the entire KNOPPIX distribution from RAM (provided you have enough available) or
install it on your hard disk and run it from there.
