  1. Remastering without remastering: editing and saving init

    By making substantial use of KNOPPIX-DATA on a reiserfs formatted /dev/sda3 I have managed to customise KNOPPIX at boot pretty well as preferred.
    However: one final (almost trivial) alteration...

    How to set bash / nano cursor

    Sorry - possibly the most naive question it is possible to ask.
    I've searched this forum and got a flood of hits from Google (and have tried the simplest solution described below) but still not got...
  3. Invitation to create sda3 for KNOPPIX-DATA has disappeared - why?

    I have been using KNOPPIX 8.6.1 since announcement, installed to tiny bootable sticks and also to large capacity bootable mobile drives.

    partimage failing with ext3 fs

    I have a 140G ext3 partition with just 12G used. The command
    $ partimage -z0 -d -V -f0 -b save /dev/sdb1 /d/img/pim.1.28-MAR
    should work trivially. But instead of a watchable accumulating 12G saved...
  5. How can I force one of two KNOPPIX filesystems to be detected

    I have a KNOPPIX boot stick and a KNOPPIX boot laptop.
    If I insert the stick into the laptop and fire the laptop up and visit Boot Order I can require the stick to be detected.

    v.9.1 not seeing HD partitions under /dev

    Knoppix v.9.1 does not list my HD partitions
    nvme01{p1,p2}
    under /dev/; nor does it see them in fdisk -l.

    init: must be run as PID 1

    Running Knoppix from a boot USB stick:
    My preference is not the default start mode (X) but at the plainest possible bash console.
    By editing syslinux.cfg appropriately I've been able to manage this...
  8. Overlay /KNOPPIX-DATA: partition is too small (

    This message occurring during boot up of KNOPPIX-Live has no deleterious consequences but it is an annoyance.
    It is probably an unintended hangover from the HD-installed version which allocates...
  9. Inexplicable emergence of boot error msg: but nothing else has changed!

    Have been using 8.6.0 on a 32G FAT32 boot stick since forever.
    Seamless. Perfect every time. No glitches.
    The stick has one partition showing as /dev/sda1. (The host HD is /dev/nvme0n1..)
    There is...

    On exit : dirty bit is always set

    Earlier versions of KNOPPIX always automatically unmounted any mounted devices on "halt" (init 0) or "reboot" (init 6) if the user had forgotten to do so.
