saving settings on floppy disk
Hi!
When I try to save my configuration on a floppy disk everything is ok (the empty floppy disk is ext2 formatted), all the necessary files have been saved. But when I try to boot with "knoppix myconfig=/mnt/auto/floppy" I get an error message telling me knoppix is that /dev is a directory... I tried several times using myconfig=scan , with different floppy disks but I still can't boot with my settings saved... Why is that?
Thanks a lot for your help!

I have the exact same problem on Knoppix v3.2-2003-05-20.
I saved the config files on both a DOS and ext2 floppy. Both config files were there, but I always got the "/dev is a directory" error.
I'm downloading V3.2-2003-06-06 as I type this. Maybe that will help. If so, I'll post back...

Saving Config to Floppy in ver 3.2 or STD 0.1b
I found on one of the forum threads that the new cheat command is not repeat not "Knoppix myconfig=". The new command is:
"Knoppix floppyconf" This worked fine with the save config utility in KDE.
Hope it works for you!!
