[Gloucs] Hello - Knoppix

[Arthur Kyle]

David,

I also had problems with MEPIS CD but was desperate to
try it. In the linux subdirectory of the CD is a batch
file; mkboot.bat and a script; mkbootfloppy.sh they
will create a boot floppy that will start the CD. I
didn't try a hard drive install of the latest version
but the live CD is available from the floppy boot.
