Other Help Topics :: about the knoppix image



uhmm, how can i view, or extract the knoppix file?
Code Sample
dsl@box:~$ less /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

dude, you took it literally, or in the wrong way. let me rephrase
my sentence. what i meant to say is that how do i view the contents of the knoppix file(like seeing a directory structure), not to view it byte by byte. :p

The KNOPPIX file is a compressed file system.  You need to mount it and then view it like any other mount.  It's read only, by the way.

sudo mount -o loop=/dev/cloop7 /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX /mnt/test
ls /mnt/test
ls /mnt/test/usr/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/
sudo umount/test


You can use a lowest unused cloop you have rather than cloop7, I did that in case you have some uci's loaded.

cloop is already mounted:
Code Sample
dsl@box:~$ mount
/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw)
/dev/scd0 on /cdrom type iso9660 (rw)
/dev/cloop on /KNOPPIX type iso9660 (ro)
/ramdisk on /ramdisk type tmpfs (rw,size=98864k,size=94736k

So, in my view 'ls -al /KNOPPIX' should give the same result as the one you just posted.
