=Introduction=<br />
In computing, [[booting]] is a process that starts operating systems when the user turns on a computer system. The origin of the word may be from the wild west in America. The image of a cowboy pulling himself up by his [[booting | bootstraps]] after a long night drinking is the usual idea. You may also hear [[booting]] refered to as [[booting |bootstrapping]] for this very reason. The computer is trying to pull itself up by its [[booting | bootstraps]].<br />

Gnoppix during the booting shows the [[syslinux bootprompt]]:<br />
<br />
boot><br />
<br />
At the [[syslinux bootprompt]], a user can type one or more [[Cheat Codes]]. The additional [[Cheat Codes|codes]] alter the default boot sequence. After the [[Cheat Codes]] are entered the Enter key is used to start the [[booting|bootstrapping]] process. If the default options are OK, then the user can press Enter without typing [[Cheat Codes]]. For example, the default keyboard in the German version of [[knoppix]] is great for German speaking individuals. This person would hit the Enter key to take the defaults and starte [[knoppix]]. Howwever, an English speaking person would type<br />
<br />
linux lang=en<br />
at the boot prompt.<br />

=Different methods of boot=<br />
->here we describe methods that can boot knoppix as it was on cd (iso or cloop(KNOPPIX))<br />
<br />
==why not booting the usual way:==<br />
<br />
->some people do not have the cd writer<br />
<br />
->booting this way frees up the CD for other use (such as burning files)<br />
<br />
->some people do not have a dvd writer and want to use the dvd-image<br />
<br />
->faster on hdd(the hdd is normaly faster than a cd/dvd drive)<br />
<br />
->some computers do not have a cd-rom/dvd-rom drive<br />
<br />
->consume less power on laptops(hdd consume less than cd)<br />
<br />
===limits:===<br />
as it boots from hd... there are several issues with:<br />
<br />
->partitioning<br />
<br />
->fsck of the partition where reside the knoppix image<br />
<br />
->security reasons (booting from cd can be prevented by the bios but here if you can boot from hd you can boot knoppix)<br />
<br />
==CD/dvd based bootloader==<br />
->use the cd in order to boot an iso image<br />
<br />
==Hdd based boot loader==<br />
->boot from the hd<br />
===On Linux system===<br />
this method is caled "linux" because it needs<br />
<br />
->grub,lilo or another linux bootloader installed<br />
<br />
->a filesystem readeable by grub/lilo/others (ext2/reiserfs...)<br />
====Grub====<br />
<br />
====Lilo====<br />
====Others boot loaders====<br />
<br />
==Others boot methods==<br />
===Pxe===<br />
[[KNOPPIX_Terminal_Server]]<br />
===floppy===<br />
->works by storing the boot loader on a floppy<br />
