[SOLVED] Need clarification on persistent home

Weird.

Tried asking one of the knoppix dev?

No, not as yet.

I thought i'd go through the stages, that is, try and draw on other peoples experiances first.

The disc checks out for a media check target 'testcd'.

But, i have noticed the file 'version' in the knoppix dir. It contains the string ...

'5.0.1 2006.06.01'

representing the version and build date for the iso. And the docs ask that it should be quoted with any bug reports.

So, at the moment, i'm suspecting there may be differences between the images being used by people. Due to fixes that may have been applied to different iso builds.

I haven't had much time over the week to spend a lot of time on it, but i need to look at the knoppix-autoconfig a lot closer. Just so that i can be sure of what i'm saying, if i'm going to bother one of the developers .

As the 'myconfig=' option works fine, and the .btz file resides on an extended-logical (/dev/hda14) , if that is indeed the problem with getting the knoppix.img to mount .. it is a bug.

Have been mounting it via the knoppix.sh script, associated with the 'myconfig=' switch though.

Other issues, such as mouse configuration quirks in X, also tend to point to a problem (ommission) in the knoppix-autoconfig init script too, i think.

It is, of course, an opportunity to get into the workings of the disc it self. But i'd really rather be getting int the workings of 'expect' instead. (grin)
