Hello,
I've been hacking knoppix a bit, hoping to eventually add boot line options that will allow you to define the username, uid, groupname, gid at bootup and then have knoppix cleanly load an environment for that user (rather than the koppix username/uid). I haven't got to the boot option reading yet, but have found most of the relevant places (knoppix-autoconfig, etc) where such information must be changed.

The one thing I haven't found is exactly where and how the /home/knoppix directory is mounted at boot, and how to modify this to generically mount /home/foo instead.

Pointers would be appreciated - if there is interest I would be happy to fold this back to Klaus or this forum if I can do this cleanly.

Nathan
