Boot Command & resolution

[Justice_huk]

I have Knoppix installed to my HDD, but I'm wondering if there is a way of getting the boot prompt back like on the live version, so I can add options when booting? As al I get is the option of typing Linux or Win to boot


Also Knoppix does seem to go above 1024x768 is there a way to make it run at 1280x1024?






I am Dual booting with WinXP
Radeon 7500

Because you have install knoppix to hd, the only option you have is to edit /etc/lilo.conf:

add any option/cheatcodes into "append" line. ex: you want to add alsa
ex:
image=/vmlinuz
append="lang=de apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi vga=791 quiet alsa"
root=/dev/hda5
label=Knoppix
read-write
or you can create new menu, which you want to name "knoppix-alsa". Duplicate the menu and add alsa to append line and change the label.
ex:
image=/vmlinuz
append="lang=de apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi vga=791 quiet"
root=/dev/hda5
label=Knoppix
read-write
image=/vmlinuz
append="lang=de apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi vga=791 quiet alsa"
root=/dev/hda5
label=Knoppix-alsa
read-write

Don't forget to update lilo by running command : lilo ; in root konsole.

To change screen resolution, you can try run command : kxconfig
or
add cheatcodes : screen=1280x1024 ; to lilo.
