HD Install :: Installing DSL with boot floppy and W95

I made a boot floppy using rawwrite.exe then when restarting my Windows 95 laptop I am geeting the following messages:
- <enter>
Loading Linux 24
Loading minirt 24.gz
OK, booting the kernel
- Welcome to DSL ...
Then
- Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit.
Additional builtin commands
knoppix#
I have copied KNOPPIX into c:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX with upper case as mentioned.
I am close but need more help to enjoy DSL...

Your procedure is correct.
Anyway check if KNOPPIX filename is actually uppercase because some Windows versions return the name to lowercase.

I think that's exactly what's happening: when I look at the file name (or folder name) it's in UPPERCASE but when I select it, it's like this Knoppix even though I see KNOPPIX when I rename it?
I'll check if there is a way to have Windows format the way I want. Thanks.

This tip was written before and it worked, the author was Reidy-:

I found out that you can't actually make a folder / file in uppercase. It instantly puts KNOPPIX back to Knoppix (in Windows 98/95/SE) but you can do it in DOS:

Boot to DOS

then (type this into the console)

CD C:\knoppix
rename knoppix knoppix123
rename knoppix123 KNOPPIX

then to rename the directory

rename C:\knoppix knoppix1234
rename C:\knoppix1234 KNOPPIX

You must change it to something different first otherwise you will get an error changing it from Knoppix to KNOPPIX

Checked everything and it's fine. I have c:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX and the KNOPPIX file + the Boot in the first KNOPPIX directory. Still getting the same error message. Was wondering if it can be the KNOPPIX file? or the boot floppy creation file?
Is there a place I can download a clean KNOPPIX?
