[syslinux] How to boot a compressed CD-ROM image from disk

[Blaauw,Bernd B.]

1) MBR
2) Syslinux bootsector
3) Syslinux (syslinux, isolinux, pxelinux, extlinux) + configuration file
4) Linux (kernel) + initrd
5) Initrd loads compressed ISO (zisofs filesystem)
6) You're done!

Classic way:
A) Create 1GB..2GB FAT16 partition
B) Format C:
C) Syslinux C:
D) Copy Knoppix files to C: (I guess files KNOPPIX, KERNEL26, MINIRT26.GZ)
E) Create syslinux.cfg file

label knoppix
kernel kernel26
append ................

for '...........' see the isolinux.cfg on your Knoppix CD/DVD. It's a very long commandline.

Syslinux 3.00 should allow not only FAT16, but also FAT32 and ext2fs.
