    Passing arguments to knoppix.sh via boot options

    Hello,

    I would like to make a cluster of knoppix machines, and therefore I've added a client package on my Knoppix CD. An executable in this package is launched via the knoppix.sh script placed at the root of the cdrom, thus it's launched when knoppix starts.

    My problem is that I don't know how to pass arguments at boot time to this script, in order to configure my cluster client.

    Any idea ?

    Thanks !

    PS : sorry for my strange english

    Maybe there is a way to initialize environment variables at boot time ?

    The linuxrc script gets at the boot command line by setting a shell variable like this:

    CMDLINE="$(cat /proc/cmdline)"

    and in my system at least, the file /proc/cmdline still contains the boot command after the boot is complete so you should be able to use this to do what you need.

    Best Wishes
    Pete
