Time problems

[sireasoning]

two problems with the above approach:

one: knoppix should already have access to cdrom and floppy (although one would have to have 2 cdrom drives for this to be a real issue I would think)

two: You would have to set a root password before you can change the time via the kde taskbar (open a root console and type: "sudo passwd" (without quotes) then enter the root password you want.). Then you would need to kill the kicker process ("ctrl + esc" will bring up the kde task manager) and then rerun kicker ("alt + F2" will bring up a command line and then type "kicker") for the proper time change to be seen on the taskbar. I am also uncertain as to if it will be saved after "save Knoppix configuration" has been run. I don't believe that it is (although the root password will be saved).

One problem with your approach is that he has installed to the Hard Drive and Knoppix then becomes standard Debian. If you want to access the cdrom you have to belong to that group, audio the same and so on for other devices unless you do like I did on my first install and you change a lot of permissions from what they are set too, I have since found the "Debian" way of setting up the system and it works well.

oops... didn't catch that. For future reference, there is a seperate forum for install to hard drive issues.
