/dev/sdb is used as device for the USB stick in Linux in this
documentation. The device used for the USB stick on your machine
may be different.
Please be aware that this page is
only for documentation . But you can create your own Rescue USB
stick using the hints and HowTos documented here.

"Casper is a hook for initramfs-tools used to generate an initramfs capable to boot live systems
as those created by make-live" (see the man page for casper)
"live-initramfs is a hook for the initramfs-tools, used to generate a initramfs capable to boot live systems, such as those created by live-helper(7). This includes the Debian Live isos, netboot tarballs, and usb stick images. At boot time it will look for a (read-only) media containing a "/live" directory where a root filesystems (often a compressed filesystem image like squashfs) is stored. If found, it will create a writable environment, using aufs, for Debian like systems to boot from. live-initramfs is a fork of casper. casper was originally written by Tollef Fog Heen <tfheen@canonical.com> and Matt Zimmerman <mdz@canonical.com>."(see the manpage for live-initramfs)
First rename the directory KNOPPIX on the partition to a new name,
e.g
mv KNOPPPIX KNOPPIXDVD
Next add the parameter for the KNOPPIX directory to all entries in
the syslinux config file:
cd boot
mv isolinux syslinux
cd syslinux
sed "s/initrd=minirt.gz/initrd=minirt.gz knoppix_dir=KNOPPIXDVD
/g" isolinux.cfg>syslinux.cfg
Be aware the initrd on the
original KNOPPIX DVD only supports the first 15 partitions
on the harddisk devices for booting!
Unfortunately this is true for most of the other Live images
based on KNOPPIX.
