Script to run at bootup
Where can I put a short script that will be run at bootup in Knoppix 6.2?
I find it tedious to have to type in 'setxkbmap gb' every time after boot up, and it will confuse my friends who want to use it, but are not used to CLI.

Hey-
Do you have a "persistent store" set up? On both flash drives and "poor man's install" (tohd=/dev/whatever, on bootup) you can set up a filesystem that is merged with the main KNOPPIX system files, and your settings will be saved. Once you have that done, you can poke around in the /etc/init.d/ or whatever and your modifications will take effect permanently.
Hope that helps!

Additional info (from the cheatcodes):
If you would like to edit your X-Server configuration manually
(config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf), use "knoppix 2" to boot
into runlevel 2 (textmode only) and, after changing the X
configuration, start the X environment with "init 5". Note that
you can always leave the graphical environment with "init 2", and
restart it later with "init 5".
Hope that helps!

I think the simplest and most safe way is to edit /etc/rc.local.
For example, here are my modifications
HTML Code:
# Bug in initial 6.2.1 loop devices created wrong! Only one, create the rest
mknod -m660 /dev/loop/1 b 7 1
mknod -m660 /dev/loop/2 b 7 2
mknod -m660 /dev/loop/3 b 7 3
mknod -m660 /dev/loop/4 b 7 4
mknod -m660 /dev/loop/5 b 7 5
mknod -m660 /dev/loop/6 b 7 6
mknod -m660 /dev/loop/7 b 7 7
# Mounting extra persistent storage + creating directories
mkdir /store
mkdir /store/local
mkdir /store/var
mkdir /store/share
mount -o loop /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data2.img /store/share
mount -o loop /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data3.img /store/var
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
I could also have started servers etc
