Newbie Alert!
Hi guys,
I have been checking out Linux on a fairly regular basis over the years and it has never really gotten a grip of me,... until now!
The whole concept of these Live CD's is brilliant. I downloaded 5 or 6 of them over the last week or so and had great fun messing around with them. I particularly like the "Poormans" install method, almost full functionality without having to mess up your hdd, cool.
Anyhow after a little trial and error I have the Linuxtag 3.5 DVD running as a poormans using grub called from winXPs boot loader and very nice it is too. Shame they forgot to put Gimp in there,.. DOH!
Now for my newbie question and apologies in advance as I'm sure the answer must be somewhere on the site but I've not been able to find it in a couple of days trying. My poormans is working great, saving config changes, klik installed apps all ok - the trouble is that on boot up it keeps trying to load the KNOPPIX welcome html file and says that it can't find it. This holds up the launch of all my open programs from last session. When I click on the error message the KNOPPIX welcome html launches TWICE and all my other programs come up behind it. Not a fatal error but bloody annoying all the same, so guys, how do I stop the KNOPPIX welcome file being called at launch?
Cheers,
Arcflup.
