I setup term. server & ether card, then did the "Save KNOPPIX Configuration"
in the menu, rebooted & typed at prompt;
boot: knoppix myconfig=/dev/hda3 home=/dev/hda3/knoppix.img

I booted the client & it wouldn't boot from the term. server.
Knoppix 3.3 poormans HD install on /hda1, & booting from floppy.
It works fine when I manually set it up, does the
"save config." not work for the T. server? .......... What am I missing?

=== SOLVED:
ACTUALLY the config. was saved, term. server just wasn't starting.
The config file "/mnt/hda3/knoppix.sh" can be used to run commands
& shell scripts at boot, yours may be in a different place from mine.

In this file I put the line: /etc/init.d/knoppix-terminalserver start
The term. server now starts automatically.

I've looked all over & seen a lot of people asking this same question.
I haven't seen any answers though, seems such a simple thing.
The saved Knoppix configuration doesn't seem to be configuring the
term. server or ether card, thought maybe it just wasn't starting them.

Here's a web link to a setup using "/knoppix/knoppix.sh" to run scripts
at boot that could be used to configure all kinds of Knoppix stuff.

I found the file: /etc/init.d/knoppix-terminalserver is what the menu item
"Start Terminal Server" runs.
Experimenting I guessed that it might take command line arguments, it did!

To configure the term. server just run the file & the GUI dialogs will startup.

To start the term. server the command is: knoppix-terminalserver start.

I ran the menu items: Save Knoppix Configuration & Create Persistant Home
to restore Knoppix's configuration setup & home directory when rebooting.
The file knoppix.sh stores config. info & is run at boot, so just add commands
to it & they're run at boot, my file is at /mnt/hda3, yours is where you put it.

I added at the bottom of knoppix.sh the line: knoppix-terminalserver start
The term. server & ether config. are restored & the term. server is started.
