i also have been working on getting KNOPPIX-DATA onto a dvd. i have tested garaden's solution above and can verify that it works properly once all the "dot-wh-dot" (.wh.*) files have been removed from the tarred KNOPPIX-DATA directory.

i also created a hacked version of the knoppix initialization script in the initramfs file minirt.gz which i will document a bit further at my original post http://www.knoppix.net/forum/threads...t-image-on-dvd

sincerely,
proctor
