I installed knoppix 3.2 (2003-06-06 EN) onto a free partition of my hard disk by following the FAQ instructions:
* run knoppix from the cdrom
* mount the partition
* copy the directory tree
* fix fstab and lilo (in my case, grub)
* create a user directory "knoppix"
It works, GREAT! Now I would like to create a couple more users, with passwords, and have root have a password too, with a normal login procedure at start up. Could someone please explain (at newbie level) how to do this?
I did manage to make knoppix into a nopasswd sudoer so I can log in to a terminal as root and from there do anything I like, of course. [I edited the /etc/sudoers file, having mounted my knoppix partition from another OS]
Or should I start all over, running knx-hdinstall? (which I didn't know existed till too late)
