A simpler way to recover from "no space left on device" problem - boot from LiveCD
re #11
Hi all! I had the same problem and advice of kl522 helped me but I did something a bit simpler. I booted from LiveCD instead of modifying USB-drive session with cheatcodes.
Just do the following:
1. Boot from LiveCD
2. At the shell prompt type the following commands (please verify that knoppix-data.img is on /media/sdb1/KNOPPIX/ path and change it accordingly in the second command if needed):
# mkdir /tmp/tmp
# mount -o loop=/dev/loop7 /media/sdb1/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data.img /tmp/tmp
# cd /tmp/tmp
..... ( start to free up space below this directory, be-warned not to remove your important files )
# cd /
# umount -d /tmp/tmp
Now, I have related question.
During installing Knoppix from LiveCD to USB-drive I declared that Knoppix should use 350MB of space on USB drive (AFAIR the default was 400MB). I have yet over 600MB of free space on USB so I would like to move up the limit of space that Knoppix uses.
How can I change this limit, so that Knoppix use more space on my USB? Please advise.
