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...

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...

I have been using KNOPPIX 8.6.1 since announcement, installed to tiny bootable sticks and also to large capacity bootable mobile drives.
In the past, at first use, I have always got a nag to create...

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...

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.
(i.e. perfectly...

Knoppix v.9.1 does not list my HD partitions
nvme01{p1,p2}
under /dev/; nor does it see them in fdisk -l.
They only become visible when viewed under File Manager; then they are mounted as ...

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...

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...

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...

KNOPPIX 8.2.0
Nowhere in the menu architecture, on the taskbar or on the desktop, can I find any pathway to activate any Bluetooth device, (specifically a Bluetooth mouse).
Can anybody tell me...

I have a 64-bit processor on a Dell 9360 machine.
If I boot into Knoppix 8.2.0 Live from a portable drive and run simple queries as follows I get:
$ lscpu
Architecture: x86_64
CPU...

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.
Recently (since at least 7.4.2, maybe a lot...

Dear All -
If I use the command fdisk -l I get the usual and expected output of the style
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type

I have had terrible trouble with 7.4.2 and 8.1.0 on a Dell XPS9360. Whether booting from the KNOPPIX DVD (burn iso) or from a boot USB (I use Pendrive's Universal-USB-Installer v. 1.9.8.0, there may...

Sorry I know this crops up from time to time but the mirrors alter over time.
1. Please can somebody point me to 7.2.0 on DVD? And preferably a straightforward iso download, not torrent.
2. I can't...

More of the same today. Yet another "Boot error" on startup. I will write this while I reformat the card as a KNOPPIX bootable drive.
If I cannot actually understand and defeat this phenomenon, I...

>> What about getting a new one?

Good question - sorry, I should have said. The device is a super-expensive 200G Sandisk micro-SD in my phone, partitioned as 8G FAT32 + 192G exFAT.
I jut plug the...

Running 7.4.2 on a USB boot device.
The whole thing works perfectly time after time after time ...
... until it doesn't, and the message "Boot error" comes up.
In the past I've tried chkdsk /f or...

Up until a Blackberry upgrade I was booting amazingly and efficiently from a 64G microdrive in a Blackberry Z10 phone recognised a a remore USB device.
Now, following a BB OS upgrade (that I...

Just got a horrible Samsung keyboard + detachable touch screen running even more horrible W8. Boots into KNOPPIX just fine using
$ knoppix 2

Both on my Tosh L630 laptop (with/ without external monitor) and Dell Dimension 2400 desktop the startx command provides a desktop with no visible menubar along the lowedr edge of the screen and...

It's taken a while but at last 5.3.1 is knocked off its No 1 spot as best ever Knoppix, replaced by 6.7.1. (Laptop boot ok? Yes. External monitor pickup? Yes. Video modes? Yes. Wireless? Yes. And...

I cannot find (and don't know whether there is) a Forum specific to command-line syntax questions, so I'll post it here. Please put me right if I want to go elsewhere (and I apologise for wasting...

Are you serious? I thought current mounting procedures, for current NTFS architecture, were completely robust.
I've been reading / writing / editing / deleting for literally years. No problems...

Thank you kl522 for suggestion.
Unfortunately no change: echo $COLUMNS $LINES reveals that initially both are set high anyway - but not implemented.
Changing them triggered no implementation.
