I'm really pleased with Knoppix, this is as far as I 've ever made it with Linux and I can see me ditching Windows sooooooon. (Dual boot at present). With the help of this forum I've been able to set Knoppix up for what I need, but not make the changes permanent so I have to manually put the commands in each session!
I appreciate that there are text files to make these changes permanent, just not where they are, or where is the correct place when you have a choice..... It's just for the one user (me) at the moment but system-wide is also fine.
I have downloaded and printed the 229 page 'Debian Reference' manual, but until I've read that..... anyone know where to add these changes so they are loaded at boot? Many thanks, Stuart.....
1). Enable DMA on for hardrives and CD/DVD-ROM drives ('/sbin/hdparm -qd1 /dev/hdx') and turn buffers on.
2). Enable read-write on all mounted volumes ('mount -o remount,rw /dev/hdx')
3). Automatically run Arno's IPtables-Firewall script, to setup 'ICS' (maquerading and NAT). ('/etc/rc.d/rc.iptables start')
Some other things I haven't been able to do (yet?) include importing my 1000s of emails from Outlook Express 6, 'print' to my plotter in hpgl (no ideas on that one!) and scanning.
(The list of things I can do is growing all the time, (like being able to install packages!!!) - but this is a long enough post already!
