I set up MaemoLiveCD to boot up from lilo, since Schlenker keeps

That's wise...
I had some trouble at first, since I was not familiar with Kanotix,
but I have some experience with Kurumin - which to my best knowledge
is the lost brazilian cousin of Kanotix :), the two distros look very
similar. The Kanotix documentation and forum seem to be mainly in
German and GRUB-centric, but I managed to boot it after a few tries.
If someone wants to do it, here is my recipe:
-mount ISO image via loopback and copy KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX file,
boot/vmlinuz, and /boot/miniroot.gz. KNOPPIX file should reside in a
root directory of some partition say hda9, under a dir named KNOPPIX
as well; the other two files can be copied to a subdir of the /boot
dir (here /boot/KNOPPIX) in your main Linux system.
-edit lilo.conf and run lilo afterwards:
image=/boot/KNOPPIX/vmlinuz
append="ramdisk=100000 init=/etc/init fromhd=/dev/hda9"
root=/dev/hda9
read-only
initrd=/boot/KNOPPIX/miniroot.gz
label="maemo"
After that it boots just fine. I have yet to set up the keyboard to
something other than German. :)
Problem is, when I try to start maemo-gui under scratchbox, it fails
miserably with complains that it is running under a read-only
environment, and that there is not enough memory (I'll write down the
errors soon). I have 512MB, minus ~100MB used in the ramdisk. Isn't
that enough or am I missing something?
Just take a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst and you will find out, that the
parameter "unionfs" is missing. Also "lang=pt" or "lang=us" may probably
make sense.

Mattias
