For the life of me, I can't get Knoppix to work with EZB. I've followed a few different explanations here on the EZB forums, but none have worked so far.
I've successfully been able to use SeaTools and MemTest with EZB.
These are the different ways I've tried so far:
I used UltraISO to extract the files to the "\disk1\ezboot" folder. I then used UltraISO to make a bootfile knoppix(.bif) and added it to the same folder. I used the following command to run knoppix: bootinfotable;run knoppix.bif. I also checked joliet when making the ISO.
When that didn't work, I tried an example used in a couple of other posts. They state to extract the files like I have and then copy the isolinux file from "\BOOT\isolinux" to the ezboot folder. I checked the same joliet setting and then used the same run command from above, but with isolinux.bin.
That also didn't work.
The only other thing I can think of, is a conflict with memtest. MemTest is also housed in the same BOOT folder and has it's own BOOT security catalog file and then a MEMTEST.img file.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

The error I keep receiving is: Cannot find kernel image: linux
I removed the memtest files to see if that resolved it, but it did not. So there must be something else I'm doing wrong.

You didn’t tell what KNOPPIX you use  – so I downloaded ADRIANE-KNOPPIX_V6.2.1CD-2010-01-31-EN.iso as test object – and I did following:
1. Open downloaded knoppix.iso-file using UltraISO
2. Extracted folder “KNOPPIX” from ISO to EasyBoot\disk1 (folder disk1 is the “root” for EasyBoot if you wonder)
3. Deleted folder “KNOPPIX” in ISO-file
4. Saved (“Save As”) ISO with the name "adriane.iso" to a temporary folder (this ISO-file is much less in size now)
5. Used my script “easyboot-iso.script” to integrate “adriane-iso” to EasyBoot (I used the name KNOPPIX as name in script text-box)
6. Created menu in EasyBoot and used menu command given by script “memdisk knoppix.img.gz”
7. Created ISO as usual in EasyBoot (I checked “Joliet”, as this is isolinux)
8. Tested in “Virtual PC” and it worked fine

Thanks, Balder.
Adriane is the version I am using.
But I must be missing something from your example. Could you maybe post the ISO youv'e compiled so I can have a better understanding?
When I do as you say, I get an error from EZB that says that "memdisk knoppix.img.gz" cannot be found. I've verfied that knoppix.img.gz is there, but I don't know what "memdisk" references.
Thanks

When I do as you instructed, Balder, I get the following error messages when trying to save the EZB files:
Boot image: 'C:\Easyboot\disk1\EZBOOT\bcdwin.bin' not Exist!
Boot image: 'C:\Easyboot\disk1\EZBOOT\isolinux' not Exist!
Boot image: 'C:\Easyboot\disk1\EZBOOT\memdisk' not Exist!

When you install EasyBoot - files: Bcdw.bin, Isolinux and Memdisk is put in folder ezboot 
You absolutely need these files in folder ezboot 
Please check that you have these files in folder ezboot – if not – reinstall EasyBoot to get them in place 
I guess that you most likely have deleted these files accidentally

Thanks again, Balder. I reinstalled EZB and didn't delete those files this time.
I got a little bit further, but now when I try to boot it, I receive a "No PXE stack" error.
I think it has something to do with how I'm using WinBuilder.
When I load up WinBuilder, I select the "Easyboot-ISO" script input "knoppix" as ISO file name (which is the name of the ISO), the default path for EasyBoot is correct (C:\EasyBoot), and I click "Start button". It starts the progress and asks me to locate the ISO. Prior to this point, I extracted the KNOPPIX folder from the ISO to the root, like you said.
After I point to the ISO, it completes and the "knoppix.img.gz" is created as well as an ISO folder located in the root (disk1) that contains the knoppix ISO.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

No not necessarily – I think it can be related to what method you use to test created ISO-file
"No PXE stack" error is related to grub - used in “kicker-image”
Please download and test ISO-file using this freeware from HERE
Note: When asked - you don’t need to create “Hard Disk Image”.

The method I was using to test the ISO was the MS Virtual PC. I ran the MobiaLiveCD app and the same issue occurred.

@weirddemon
I’m pretty sure it works – but there is something with your system\computer\RAM-memory that might be a little bit odd in some way
Note: this “PXE Stack” is part of grub - that are used in the “kicker-image” (knoppix.img.gz) 
I have never expiried this problem – so it’s hard for me to exactly pin-point you how to work-around this odd problem – maybe test on a different machine
You can copy only the created ISO (ISO created by Easyboot) and the “MobaLiveCD_v2.1.exe” to the root of a different computer and test what happens – you won’t harm that other computer as you do not install anything (WinXP is the best choice as OP-system - if accessible)
