dbar,

I'm very sorry to hear that things did not go as smoothly as I expected.

From your comments that you had a few successful boots in German and the fact the KNOPPIX file had to be moved to the root of C one explanation could be that the parameters on the 2 lines below the 'Kernel=' line are not being recognised, The directory for the location of KNOPPIX and the language is defined on these lines. You now have config working but not permanent home. If the config parameter is on the same line as the 'kernel=' but home parmeter on the lines below this would confirm this theory.

I cannot emphasise enough that these 3 lines, (as displayed on screen in the web page), are entered as ONE line. Just keep typing it in menu.lst, putting a space between each cheat code.

I also thought the cheat code for home was 'home=/dev/hda5/knoppix.img'

I have not played with a permanent home so cannot confirm what happens in this regard. I will now try and set one up tonight on my machine.

Can you please e-mail me a copy of your current menu.lst? You will find my e-mail address on the response page pointed to on the last page of the instructions.
