Booting Knoppix from RHEL
Hey peeps and geeks!!!
Noob here, so plz don't mind my igorance
I have an intel p4 running xp and RHEL 4, 2.6.9-5.EL kernel.
I love knoppix co'z its so good to get started...
but i have to always boot from cd., I have created an image of Knoppix with the command:
Knoppix tohd=/dev/hda5
I could boot from that image using command Knoppix fromhd=/dev/hda5 at the Knoppix boot prompt.
What I want to do is to get one option for booting Knoppix when I boot my mechine.
I don't want to create floppy disks for booting Knoppix.
I think it's got something to do with grub.conf...
Thanx in advance.
