I followed instructions on knoppix website. first tried tuxboot. used tuxboot with iso and also thru their auto download. i also used 7 zip to extract files to the usb and ran makeboot.bat. any way i try this i see the image shown above.

I tried copying a older knoppix disc to the usb and ran makeboot.bat. when i popped it in it says some thing like cannot find kernel linux

im using a hp 6200 biz desktop

One thing that can be confusing is if the laptop has a SD reader, as well as media-player functions. These can add unexpected devices, and of course if you've got other USB storage devices besides the Knoppix one, that can throw things off as well.

ugh, looks like i was mistaken. I'm trying to boot to the latest clonezilla live. when i try all the commands in the linked page. i receive unknown command for find, root, and setup.
