For the sake of someone who has never remastered, can you provide information on how to change this default or a link to the information? (I wouldn't mind adding the few cheat codes I need when booting too.)Originally Posted by locutus
Today made the 4th household where Knoppix was used getting back online after MS Windows software had extreme "issues". Two of those households are now running Linux 100% of the time and soon a third will be. The forth site had already purchased a new computer before I was able to get them Knoppix for the old/corrupt PC. I might have to wait until this one gets corrupted before they'll relook at Knoppix/Linux but that probably won't take long.
Thanks Mr Knopper and associates.
BTW, changing the default boot parms to include home=scan and myconfig=scan makes for a nice reuseable boot system. I use this in cases where a potential user isn't quite ready to fully switch to Linux but wants to use Knoppix over and over for awhile before deciding.

I hope you know how to make a bootable CD. You'll need to know that to do this little "hack" of Knoppix.
The boot file you need to edit is found on the Knoppix CD:
/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
ADD the following two items to the first APPEND entry:
myconfig=scan home=scan
NOTE: don't make them the first/second item or one of them won't work. Funky, but that's what I ran into.
FYI: I used the handy Remastering scripts( see Remaster forum and look for something about Remastering the Easy Way ) to build my system so you might need to look at those scripts on how to specify the boot image needed when burning your updated Knoppix back to CD.

As a Splinter Cell (PS2) addict make sure to shoot out any cameras and disable any Microsoft insergents before you pop knoppix in.
Yea, don't get caught, you'll be in big trouble for putting weird cds into their computers.
