Hi, jacksbutler.
One way is to edit the first line of /mnt-system/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg.
Just add or change some of the default cheat-codes.
Make a copy of syslinux.cfg like syslinux.cfg.orig just in case.
I have Knoppix 6.4.4 installed on my laptop (Dell) and all works wonderfully. The power management os unbelievable! Was just wondering if there is a way of altering the boot sequence in the root menu so that I don't have to keep editing it when I boot up? Specifically I want to change the language to xkeyboard=gb and the time sequence to europe/london and want to do it so that it is kept once changed. Any ideas as to how I do this? Thanks.

p.s.
I'm assuming your 6.4.4 is a Live USB like mine, of course.
Something similar will apply to an HDD install.
I'm not sure but when you do a hdd install I'm afraid it uses grub, in this case edit the lines in
/boot/grub/grub.conf
Try first utu's suggestion
Hi and thanks for the help. I cannot find /mnt-system/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg anywhere? I edited the grub conf, but could not save it? Any ideas? Thanks a lot.
Hi, again, jacksbutler.
Looks like your setup is not like mine at all. Sorry.
Maybe dinosoep can steer you better.
FWIW, I don't have a grub.conf, but I do note that my /boot/grub
files are root:root. In which case if I wanted to edit grub.conf
I would need to start out with
sudo leafpad /boot/grub/grub.conf
so I could save my edits.
Hi utu and thanks a lot. My grub is in sda2, so I just amended your instructions to sudo leafpad/sda2/boot/grub, amended the list, saved and it all worked! Many thanks.
