trying to use Quantian0.7.9.2.iso and the lilogrub HOWTO
iso not burned to dvd, not booting from any cdrom
system comes up with Welcome to KNOPPIX live cd
but then, in red :
Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell
press reset to quit
knoppix:
I am total newbie with debian, knoppix, quantian.
used rh8 for many years;
now my main os is fc5 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5
couldnt quite believe that it would be as easy as that howto claimed
I am probably missing some obvious additional required steps
what i did: downloaded Quantian_0.7.9.2.iso
put it in an existing ext3 partition (prev used for rh8)
mounted on /rh8 when up in fc5
from fc5
root at bootp ~]# mount /dev/sdb5 /rh8
[root at bootp ~]# cd /rh8
[root at bootp rh8]# ls
boot bootrh8 Quantian_0.7.9.2.iso
[root at bootp rh8]# cd boot
[root at bootp boot]# ls
linux24 linux26 migrt24.gz migshm24 miniroots.tar.gz minirt24.gz
minirt26.gz
[root at bootp boot]#
I thot that is all that was required, according to that howto
along with modifying the grub.conf on my fc5 systtem
in fc5 /boot/grub/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

nomce quiet fromhd=/dev/null bootfrom=/dev/sdb5/*.iso config=scan home=scan
noprompt
initrd /boot/minirt26.gz
any advice?
missing something obvious?
