1st:
The option to save the configuration of Knoppix to a floppy disk is good but i dont use a floppy drive in this system, is there a way it can read from a file on a windows partition and also save to it?

2nd:
The only GUI refresh rates i have seen are 70Hz and 75Hz and these make my screen look weird so can the XF86Config be edited befor a new ISO is burnt or can the file be chaned while the system/OS is booted ?

3rd:
Can Knoppix be cut down to fit a mini CD ? and if it can what are the largest files that can be removed ?

Thnx

1> Yes, you can make a 'persistent home' and save configs file on the HD & run off the CD. You will have to use the 2.6 kernel if the HD is formatted windows NTFS.

2> Yes and no. No you cannot just edit XF86Config before burning the CD, XF86Config files are buried in the big 'KNOPPIX' compressed file system & you would have to go through the 'remastering' procedure to change it. Yes, you can edit XF86Config files after booting. Make your changes (you will have to be root) and then logout 'end session only' which will log you right back in to have them take effect.

3> Yes, you can remaster Knoppix to fit on a mini CD. There is lots of info on remastering, start with the 'docs' listing at the top menu bar on this site.
