saving preferences
I attempted to save my preferences to floppy, which Knoppix did, and load them at startup with the "knoppix floppyconf" command. It mounts the floppy at startup and seems to read from it, but no preferences are present when Knoppix starts. Is there another step needed?
Thank you!

I attempted to save my preferences to floppy... load them at startup with the "knoppix floppyconf"

The correct syntax is "knoppix floppyconfig" -- I have found that it DOES make a difference -- look at the [F2] options, and see for yourself.

I used both syntaxes: "knoppix floppyconf" and knoppix floppyconfig" and both don't seem to work. If you check off all 5 options in the saving preferences to floppy box, what is it actually saving?

Never mind. It works beautifully now! Thanks again.

What did you do differently to get your config to work? I've tried everthing, can't get it to work...

saving prefs
Click the "K" menu, go the "KNOPPIX"->CONFIGURE->SAVE KNOPPIX CONFIGURATION. All radio buttons should be depressed, that is, shaded to select all options (5 total), click OK, insert a blank DOS formatted floppy and click enter. A progress bar will show that Knoppix is copying the configuration files.
Shut down Knoppix and restart (after of course making some changes to the default Knoppix, like Mozilla mail settings, background wallpaper, printer setup or whatever). At the prompt, type "knoppix floppyconfig" (without quotes) and hit enter.
Watch the startup text, you will see a line referencing reading from the floppy. There will be a few seconds of techno music after the KDE desktop gets underway and it should work.
Good luck (I'm a newbie, too)!

I've tried that with exception to checking all five boxes, which i did and and now boot to a black screen
(another issue which I thought I had resolved). If i boot with 'knoppix xvrefresh=60' i'm ok except screen is of centered. How to combine the two???

A little help, please. I'm sure I'm saving and booting the config file correctly - still won't load any saved preferences
. The floppy shows proper files. Is there an alternative to using GUI Knoppix>save config??
I've booted with knoppix vrefresh=60 knoppix floppy config and have tried all various combinations.
Thanks.

During the boot process is knoppix reading from your floppy?
<snip>
knoppix vrefresh=60 knoppix floppy config
</snip>
instead try:
knoppix vrefresh=60 floppyconfig
Note: floppyconfig is one word. As far as the boot commands, knoppix tells the boot manager which kernel to boot (only list it once), the boot options are listed after that, the order of the boot options shouldn't matter.

I believe I have had the same problem. The issue is that the refresh rate does not seem to be used after setting in kde. You can try with the boot arg:
knoppix floppyconfig xvrefresh=60
that may work. For me, I just modified the syslinux.cfg to add those to the default. Can't remember if there was a specific order that I had to put them in. try both ways.
