I searched this forum, and I didn't find anything similar to this, so here goes nothing. Hope I'm not covering old ground!
I'm attempting to set up a configuration in which I can insert a KNOPPIX CD, have it read my floppyconfig, and start the knoppix-terminalserver with my floppyconfig's stored settings. All of this needs to be automated, where all I have to do is boot the machine, type knoppix floppyconfig, and sit there while it goes on.
I tried to use update-rc.d to make the appropriate symlinks in the /etc/rc?.d directories to start the server, but I was unable to save that configuration to the floppy's configuration. I thought about remastering the KNOPPIX disc to already have those symlinks in /etc/rc?.d, but I didn't want to do anything like that unless it was the only way.
Is there some way I can customize the floppyconfig disk I'm using to either a.) Make the symlinks using update-rc.d, or b.) Have a script on the floppy that will automagically run /etc/init.d/knoppix-terminalserver start after everything else has been initialised? Keep in mind I'm not against remastering a custom CD to do this, but I'd only want to do it as a last option. I'm not very familiar with how the persisitent config files work, but I'm willing to learn.
Thanks in advance, guys!
