I apologize if this message is a dupe. I don't think my original attempt was successful.
I installed Knoppix onto an old machine of mine (233 mhz, 98mb RAM) using the install script. I was pleasantly surprised at the success, but I did encounter 2 small problems that I'd like to resolve:
1) The resolution came out to be 640x480. How can I change that to something else? I couldn't find an Xconfigurator program.
2) when I run df to see how much disk space I have free, I get a line explaining the information listed below the line (i.e., a header line), but I get no information. Why doesn't df work and how can I find out how much free space I have. WHe I use KDiskfree, it shows that the partition size for hda2 is N/A, the FULL % is N/A, and the amount free is 0. What up with that? Something very amiss here.
FWIW, here's my fstab and mtab:
fstab:
# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
# partitions found by Knoppix
#/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
#/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0
mtab:
none /proc proc rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0
As you can see, there aren't any mount points listed. What up with that?
Also, when I ssh'd over to that machine, the motd was:
Welcome to Knoppix (Kernel 2.4.20-xfs)
Could it be I have an xfs system and would that have anything to with my confusion?
-- so little understanding, so much confusion
