My default OS is windows 2000. I have installed cygwin and runpostgres database using it. Which works fine.
When I Boot using Knoppix live cd. i can go to the folder where I have exe files to start the db serve. i get a message that user knopppix does not have execute access, this folder has only read access. I tired changing the file settings to execute for all but does not chnage the access.
1. Can I create a user in knoppix which is same as windows user, so that it will have full access on the local hardrive.
2. Is this the way I run applications in windows ? I mean start,by executing applications as I would in windows.
What i want to do is run postgres on the machine and be able to use it using both windows and knoppix, is it possible?
thanks
