See the little magnifying glass in the top right of your screen? It's there for a reason!

Use it to serach for Knoppix and you will find a number of posts, this one among them.

As for GeexBox: dunno... If it is run from CD then I imagine you follow the same steps as for Knoppix, otherwise - somebody else?

Thx, but nothing seem to work at home :'(

I reretry but I don't find yet the good/working solution

**bobby100** · July 23, 2004

GeexBox uses patched Isolinux bootloaded if I can recall. All of my tests with adding him to my Multimedia CD have failed.

Use this two alternatives:

MoviX2 : http://movix.sourceforge.net/ - GeexBox and WOMP are based on MoviX

WOMP! : http://womp.sourceforge.net/

I preffer WOMP, more userfriendly, it have network support and Mozilla Firebird.

Ok thx, so what solution I must use to install them on my cd...?

bcdw?diskemu?...

**bobby100** · July 23, 2004

To keep it simple - use Isolinux because all of them uses Isolinux for booting, you just need to do smart merge of files and Isolinux.cfg files. I can't help you much because I don't have recent copy of Knoppix. Older Knoppix versions have used floppy image for booting, I have heard that new version uses Isolinux.

You need to make a little investigation.

Do it so, make new folder (with lot of space). Extract Knoppix ISO file there. Find if isolinux is present. If it is present - post the content of isolinux.cfg here. Isolinux.cfg is in BOOT or ISOLINUX folder, eventualy in root folder.

Also post the isolinux.cfg from WOMP here (I guess you'll chose WOMP for your combination).

After that I'll merge those files for you, and I'll give you needed instructions how to continue.

If you can't find isolinux.cfg on knoppix cd, then:

-in one of folders floppy image must be present (1.44 file with IMG extension)

-you need syslinux.cfg file from that floppy image, you can open floppy image with WinImage (shareware) or with Total Commander + IMG plugin (my prefered)

- post that syslinux.cfg file here

regards

P.S. - I also need folder structure of both of them in order to help you

Ok thx:

1) Womp

my root dvd is : E:\DVD\

I have extract Womp in E:\DVD\SETUP\WOMP\

and isolinux of womp in : E:\DVD\BOOT\isolinux\

if $lastKey == key[r]; then reboot
if $lastKey == key[esc]; then boot 0x80

end

I will do knoppix when already womp work

Thx

I see now, you allready have some OS-es on your compilation. This will make a bit complications to me because I'm not familiar with cdshell.

Let's do a little experiment (that surely works):

Folder ISOLINUX from WOMP MUST BE in the root of your new cd. To make it easier - copy entire WOMP content into ROOT of your DVD project.

Add this line to your cdshell.ini:

if $lastKey == key[4]; then chain /ISOLINUX/ISOLINUX.BIN

This will load COMPLETE isolinux from cdshell (this will take a littlebit RAM but that isn't a problem because you don't load DOS after that from isolinux).

If something goes wrong please take a look at following:

- file/folder name cases (upper/lowercase) IS important

- folder ISOLINUX MUST be in the root of the CD/DVD

- if you don't want to edit isolinux.cfg then also preserve folder structure from WOMP, don't put it into other subfolder.

**atlas95** · July 23, 2004

Ok I try thx

**atlas95** · July 23, 2004

Oh

It say me when I press 4 for boot womp :

Image CheckSum Error, sorry...

Press any key to reboot

What happen?

edit:

Before that I've build the iso with the source :

http://belnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourcefor...p-0.6-beta2.zip

and I see a folder boot with the img floppy boot disk, a folder syslinux and more, I think I can resolve my problem with this...how?

**bobby100** · July 23, 2004

Hi again, I'v downloaded WOMP in order to help you.

You don't need anything from source package, you need just full working ISO (downloaded or created from source package). I hope you have followed the readme file for proper making of ISO. If you have followed my instructions, then only problem remains in filesystem extension you have used.

Which app you use for building your ISO, cdimage or mkisofs ? Which options you use, if you use cdimage, please write also the explanation for the options used.

Any isolinux/syslinux or linux CD needs Rationalized RockRidge extensions, also you need to enable Joliet extensions. I don't know if cdimage offer this to user, I use mkisofs (better to say, I use The_GUI v2.0.1).

Read-only attributes also needs to be removed on isolinux.bin before building ISO.

I hope you have some virtual machine to test your ISOs before you burn them.

regards

**atlas95** · July 24, 2004

I use cdimage and this batch :

del e:\dvd.iso

start cdimage.exe -lDVD -t08/23/2001,09:00:00 -b\DVD\BOOT\loader.bin -h -n -o -m \DVD E:\DVD.iso

I've stop try integrate all Os/Tools which boot with isolinux, I've succefull make and add BartPe, I will retry to add womp, knoppix, geexbox or other after a good night lol.

If you can study my batch...

Best Regards

Mkisofs line that allows Knoppix and BartPE to "live" on one CD:

mkisofs.exe -iso-level 4 -joliet -joliet-long -hide-joliet *386* -volid "MultiBootCD" -sysid "Win32" -b loader.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -hide loader.bin -hide boot.catalog -o "C:\MultiBootCD.iso" "C:\MultiBootCD"

-joliet -joliet-long -hide-joliet *386* is important!

Modify line to match your folder and files structure

**chn139** · December 9, 2004

i try add geexbox with bdcw ,

but when add this

\BCDW\ACRONIS\geexbox/isolinux.bin;

is wrong
