    HOWTO: Change the "Startpage" when knoppix boots

    In /etc/skel/.kde/Autostart/ there is a file called
    showindex.desktop

    and in that file is what makes the webpage come up :
    Code:
    Name=KNOPPIX 
    Exec=kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing /cdrom/KNOPPIX/index_en.html 
    Type=Application 
    Icon=html 
    Terminal=0
    you you can see that it loads /cdrom/KNOPPIX/index_en.html

    So simply, change the showindex.desktop to a page of your liking.

    Tweaking the .iso file

    ...Or just do what I did the first few remasters- replace the index_en.html file with your own.

    That way, there is no need to modify the KNOPPIX file... Easy!

    True, but what I was demonstrating is how you can get it to lauch other programs, files etc

    Yep, I was trying to empasize that you can use my method without chrooting and modifying /KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.

    Once you are into the cloop file, you can modify anything you want- as long as the size is kept down to a 700MB resulting image...

    Lotsa fun.

    Don't know what version of Knoppix you are using, but here there is no /etc/skel/.kde/Autostart/showindex.desktop.

    This file is generated in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xsession, it contains this:

    Code:
    if [ -e "$INDEXFILE" ]; then
    cat >> $HOME/Desktop/KNOPPIX.desktop <<EOF
    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=KNOPPIX
    Exec=kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing $INDEXFILE
    Type=Application
    Icon=html
    Terminal=0
    EOF
    ln $HOME/Desktop/KNOPPIX.desktop $HOME/.kde/Autostart/showindex.desktop
    fi

    if [ -e "$INDEXFILE" ]; then
    cat >> $HOME/Desktop/KNOPPIX.desktop <<EOF
    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=KNOPPIX
    Exec=kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing $INDEXFILE
    Type=Application
    Icon=html
    Terminal=0
    EOF
    ln $HOME/Desktop/KNOPPIX.desktop $HOME/.kde/Autostart/showindex.desktop
    fi
    from a shell, run 'echo $HOME' and check the output. Replace $HOME in the script above "ln $HOME/Desktop/KNOPPIX.desktop $HOME/.kde/Autostart/showindex.desktop" with the output of that echo command. Then you will be able to edit showindex.desktop file.
