Ok, I will start off by saying that a complete Moron is a little smarter than I am when it comes to Linux. I am quite capable with a PC though.

I burnt the ISO, got Koppix running, and successfully managed to get an internet connection with my Sprint Mobile Broadband (Merlin S7200) EVDO card. My question is this...

Is there someone who can guide me to write a startup script that will automate that process when I launch the CD? Every time I boot the machine I have to create a new connection, have KPPP recognize the card, yada yada yada. As far as Linux scripting goes though... again... I am a moron.

Any help would be appreciated.

One possible solution is to:

1. Save the configuration to your hard drive or thumb drive.

2. Add all the setup steps onto the knoppix.sh

3. Every time when startup the knoppix, use the cheat-code: knoppix myconfig=scan

Provided that you know all your setup steps in command mode.

Check out the FAQ 4 from below:

I use this method to setup my wireless connection on boot-up time. The idea is the same to you but you just replace all your setup commands into the knoppix.sh.

Good Luck and have fun.
