-When creating an ext3 filesystem with Knoppix 3.1 the filesystem is created with an extra option that prevents debian woody from being able to fsck it correctly (hence it cannot boot). Too get around this after you have created your ext3 filesystem (mke2fs -j <device>) execute the following commands
+!! [Ext3] [FileSystem]s
- debugfs -w <device>
- feature -dir_index
- Ctrl-D
+[Knoppix] 3.1 creates [Ext3] [FileSystem]s with an extra option which fsck(8) on [Debian] Woody does not support. This prevents Woody from booting. You can fix this by issuing
-Debian Woody should now be able to use the filesystem without problems.

create your own,
custom, knoppix

+Knoppix should automagically find an existing swap partition
on boot and use it. This will make the whole system much faster (remember that it has no real disk, only RamDisk by default). Alternatively you can set up a file called "swapfile" in the root directory of any non-[NTFS] partition and Knoppix will use that as a swap file. Details
