Hi,
I want to use the Knoppix CD as a rescue tool for crashed window$ machines, usually older models. I therefore need to use the 'knoppix 2' option at bootup to use the minimum of memory and ressources and boot at runlevel 2 (single user - no GUI). I have only one problem. When knoppix boots-up the automount does not immediately boot up the hard disks. In runlevel five with KDE up and running I only click on "hda1' and the disk is mounted on /mnt. However, it needs this click to happen. Now how do I do this in runlevel 2?!
Interestinlgy (and confusingly) the floppy drive is immediately mounted at runlevel 2. Right after boot-up I just do 'cd /mnt/floppy' and I have access to it all. That does not work with 'cd /mnt/hda1" which exists, but is empty.
Any ideas why?
I really don't like the automount thing anyway (that's about the ONLY thing which does work better with Window$ IMHO). Can I disable it and mount disks manually?
Thanks for any help!
