and FYI, since apparently the boot image can have any name, this the 
`file` output looks like for the boot image, so you can find it if you 
can't tell by the name.

[bloom@kabloom KNOPPIX]% file boot.img
boot.img: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x3c, OEM-ID "SYSLINUX", FAT  1, 
root entries 16, sectors 2880 (volumes <=32 MB) , sectors/FAT 9, serial 
number 0x3e2987b9, label: "           ", FAT (12 bit)

(if you're actually going to use KNOPPIX, I suggest using the boot-en.
img boot image, and not the boot.img image as I'm not sure what 
language boot.img will boot you into.)
