Hi
im a newbie to remastering knoppix (actually my first). im trying to figure out how i can get a login prompt instead of automatic login , and also if i bootup in runlevel 3, i should have a knoppix username home directory.

a third issue im trying to figure out is, that if i add any file to /etc/skel, does it get copied onto the knoppix user's home directory ?

any help will be highly wecome

Thanks
PS: i figured i need to change /etc/inittab, but not much else

how i can get a login prompt instead of automatic login

go to control center -> login manager

Im not sure if thats only if your running hard drive install

I'm a n00b so sorry if im just being dumb.

nope! not running a HD install

i realised that when i boot into runlevel 3, I get the knoppix directory, but still really really need help with the other 2 issues: namely
1. getting a login prompt instead of automatically logging in as root (runlevel 3)
and
2. if I put file in /etc/skel, does it get copied into user knoppix's home directory ? ( specifically im tryig to put a .rhosts in the knoppix users home directory)

well...don't know if this will help because i set mine to login using GDM but if you want a prompt login then edit your /etc/inittab ... last line launches...
/etc/init.d/xsession start change that to
/bin/login and you should be set...

don't forget to chroot into the source and set a password on the account :)

Hope that helps
