V3.2-2003-05-03

[brian03]

When did they update that? This is great, a hot network testing tool on a CDROM! It works great and can bombard my network routers quickly from just about anywhere! Knoppix may be the only reason I buy a USB drive :)

I'm a 1/2-newbie. Linux since '97, but only now departing Windows.
What great tool do you mean? Nessus 2.01? You found it on Knoppix v3.1?

I have a USB drive and I would like to save my Knoppix configuration between boots. Where can I find out how to do this?

Nope I found it on 3.2. Nessus is fully described at http://www.nessus.org/ . The latest version is 2.05 but 2.01 is fine for now.

As for the USB drive. I have yet to buy it but am seriously thinking about it.

It just gets mounted as a scsi drive (sd??) where ?? = drive letter and partition number. Use the search box in the upper right for more information it has been posted and discussed before.

I was not clear. Sorry. My USB drive works great under Knoppix. But having that, I don't know how to save/restore configuration between boots. I've read of boot parameters myconfig=~ and home=~, but my Knoppix (v3.1) appears to ignore them, and they don't show in the "cheat sheet" documentation.

BTW, I keep selecting to view directories on the KDE desktop as lists rather than icons, but the selection won't "stick". How can I make this a saved preference?

Cancel that. I used the forum search function and found a bunch to read. Let me digest that. I'll repost if I still can't figure it out. (But I am still interested in how to make the folder list view stick!)

I am happier than ever with my Knoppix CD. The 2003-05-03 build was the first 3.2 build I have tried. It is more eye-catching than ever.

With qtparted I can now resize my NTFS partition to make room for linux without using an unlicensed copy of Partition Magic. This does wonders for my conscience, and I love having one more reason I can use to get people to try Knoppix (and thus linux).
