Suggestions

I would suggest using gfxboot from SuSE with some patches from me:

gfxboot is mostly used with GRUB, but GRUB does not work for all computers. ISOLINUX + gfxboot is much more safe to use.

See:

http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/experiments/gfxboot/

• isolinux.bin - Ready made binary
• suse-knoppix.diff - Changes to the SuSE binary to behave on failure exact like before.
• *.iso - An iso to test out the isolinux.bin with the default SuSE theme and show off
  • the features.

Newer GFXBOOT-Packages are available from http://kanotix.com/files/debian/pool/main/g/gfxboot/
