Hi all,
I've been trying to figure out how to get the Knoppix autoconfiguration working in Debian sarge/sid without success. Specifically, I wanted the knoppix autoconfiguration for the X server and for updating the fstab. On Debian, I have most of the hardware detection packages installed such as discover, mdetect, read-edid, etc. I've also tried xdebconfigurator without success. Knoppix does an excellent job of detecting my video and monitor and sets it up without a hitch. It also updates the fstab correctly. On my Debian system, it detects all the hardware as I can see during boot, but it does nothing more. What I'm hoping to do is take these 2 features from knoppix and add them to my current system. I imagine this involves copying a couple of knoppix script files and installing some software packages, but I've been unsuccessful in getting it to work propertly. Has anyone done this? Thanks!
