    Installing writable directories of the Software in Knoppix.

    Hi All,

    I have a problem in software installation in knoppix. The software installs the 'config' and 'html' folders in the default path "/usr/local".
    while the software is executed the config files are read and the html files are created.This is not possible on the Read-only FS.
    How to change the path only for 'html' folder so that it is not on the read-only partition.

    Regards
    Pankaj

    Welcome pankajgadhari,

    Are you trying to install new software programs while
    running the live KNOPPIX CD?

    This can be done but it takes work to modify the normal
    instalation process. Special scripts must change the normal
    location of the installled files to new destinations -- but not
    the usual locations which are impossible
    in KNOPPIX since it is read only on the CD.
    I use as a new "root"
    /ramdisk/home/knoppix/dist/ and place bin lib man
    and other folders there.

    The second step is to add to the path in .bashrc
    /ramdisk/home/knoppix/dist/bin

    Some modified install scripts exist. Mplayer can be added
    to CD booted KNOPPIX to watch DVD movies for example.
    What software do you need?

    Of course the usual way is to do a hard drive install and
    turn KNOPPIX into a dabian install. Then you can easily
    add programs. But that spoils the fun of Live KNOPPIX.

    Best Wishes
