This is kind of tied in with my last post about the necessary usb booting files. Since some of them can't be removed, and those that can still leave like 10 files cluttering up the drive's root, I have found (by rtfm) that syslinux.cfg and its required files can be moved to its own folder.

So move everything except Knoppix/Knoppix to a folder called /syslinux, or /boot/syslinux.

It should look like:

Code Sample

order*dsl@srp:~ ls -halF /mnt/sda1/
drwxrwxrwx 5 dsl staff 4.0k Dec 31 1969 ./
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 1.0k Jun 18 19:16 ../
-rwxrwxrwx 1 dsl staff 12.0k May 1 20:26 .DS_Store*
drwxrwxrwx 9 dsl staff 4.0k Jun 15 04:26 dsl/
drwxrwxrwx 2 dsl staff 4.0k Oct 10 2007 knoppix/
drwxrwxrwx 2 dsl staff 4.0k Jun 18 18:37 syslinux/

order*dsl@srp:~ ls -halF /mnt/sda1/syslinux/
drwxrwxrwx 2 dsl staff 4.0k Jun 18 18:37 ./
drwxrwxrwx 5 dsl staff 4.0k Dec 31 1969 ../
-rwxrwxrwx 1 dsl staff 123 Dec 8 2006 boot.msg*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 dsl staff 1.6k Dec 8 2006 f2*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 dsl staff 1.6k Dec 8 2006 f3*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 dsl staff 256 Jul 24 2004 german.kbd*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 dsl staff 10.6k Sep 27 2007 ldlinux.sys*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 dsl staff 971.5k May 31 2005 linux24*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 dsl staff 33.0k Jun 13 2005 logo.16*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 dsl staff 792.5k Aug 17 2007 minirt24.gz*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 dsl staff 1.7k Jun 18 18:46 syslinux.cfg*

My question. Can /knoppix/knoppix be moved and/or renamed (say I wanted to add two different distros to my usb boot setup?)?

That's been answered in another thread (last few days) about using the knoppix_dir cheatcode. See wiki cheatcode page for more info including knoppix_name that might suit your needs.
