Poor Man's Install hda1 Problem

[eco2geek]

If I'm wrong, that's fine -- been wrong lots of times before, and will probably be wrong many more times in the future.

The issue is, if you can gain write access to the drive that the Knoppix image is being loaded from, then it should be reproducible for everyone -- in other words, you should be able to tell me how to do it.

So, prove it! What version of Knoppix are you using; what commands did you use to load Knoppix, and what commands did you use to gain write access?

Ok, I use PMI Knoppix 3.4, with boot arguments (cheatcodes isn't a nice name) Knoppix26 DMA home=scan fromhd=/dev/hda1 myconfig=scan. To make it writeable, I simply right-clicked the desktop icon-->properties-->3rd tab-->and unchecked "read only". I think if you right-click it, there is also something in there about changing reading/writing allowances, it may be under one of the thingies that you hold your mouse over and it shows more thingies. (I'm not good with names)

Please post the output of "cat /etc/mtab" after you do this.
