I have the option nofstab in my grub menu.lst
I believe this should stop knoppix modifying the filesystem table. I have 23 partitions and knoppix still insists on appending all partitions to the fstab and annoyingly kde displays 23 drive icons.
I have configured kde desktop not to display file icons, but they are still there.
My fstab is below, if I delete every line after added my knoppix, they still reappear on next boot. Thanks in advance for help with this.

hal:
Start knoppix by passing the "nofstab" argument to your bootloader (i.e. edit your grub menu.lst)... that should stop /etc/fstab from being rebuilt every time you boot

Hi thanks for your reply, it is already on my boot loader (see above though my question is long).
This is my grub stanza for knoppix:
title Knoppix
kernel (hd0,16)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda17 vga=791 lang=uk nofstab nohwsetup nodhcp nomodregen splash
initrd (hd0,16)/boot/initrd.img
Do you think the order of options makes a difference?
Knoppix is on partition 17, I have not yet mounted a /home partition for knoppix
sakiZ - already tried this as well, still shows icons.
Its as though knoppix is still acting like the live cd and yet i installed as a beginner system??
Thanks for the replys, any more suggestions?
Hardly elegant but since I have no idea why the "nofstab" cheatcode is not honored, you could rename "/usr/sbin/rebuildfstab" to rebuildfstab.bkp or something...
That would work..
but it may be best just to comment out this section in your knoppix-autoconfig (/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig).... i am alittle leary of diabling the script all together since its also used by udev and the automounter (i think)
Just put a # in front of every line shown above.Code:# Start creating /etc/fstab with HD partitions and USB SCSI devices now if checkbootparam "nofstab"; then echo " ${BLUE}Skipping /etc/fstab creation as requested on boot commandline.${NORMAL}" else echo -n "${BLUE}Scanning for Harddisk partitions and creating ${YELLOW}/etc/fstab${BLUE}... " rebuildfstab -r -u knoppix -g knoppix >/dev/null 2>&1 if [ -e /var/run/rebuildfstab.pid ]; then # Another instance of rebuildfstab, probably from udev, is still running, so just wait. sleep 8 fi echo "${GREEN}Done.${NORMAL}" fi
Im also interested in the output of the " cat /proc/cmdline " command.... it may offer a clue to why this is happening
Thanks,
-Justin
