    Booting without user interaction

    Is it possible to make a remaster knoppix boot with out asking the user any boot prams? Also when it boots after the boot prams it says something like invaild video scan, press space to contionue or select one of the modes (currently not setting in front of it so thats just from what i remember it saying). Basicly in the end i want to put the CD in and have the system power on and go right to a desktop.

    Thanks
    Ed

    Knoppix does boot by itself. You're getting the 'invalid video' message because Knoppix doesn't like your hardware. It doesn't occur on most machines.

    What about the initial knoppix boot screen, The one where you can enter things like :

    knoppix lang=us

    Is there a way to skip this and have it preset??

    Search this site (or google) for knoppix-customize, a utility which allows you to modify the default boot parameters in your ISO image before burning it, including the language code and syslinux timeout.
