-=- A little more on this -=-


Tried the above ... no luck.

But the myconfig= works. So iv'e been working a custom 'knoppix.sh' script to mount the knoppix.img and just copy over my edits to the ramdisk. Not just $HOME, but /etc edits as well. Been having some success. And expect it to become usable in that way over the next few days.

But it shouldn't need to be worked around to such an extent.

As some people do get the home= parameter to work i figure there may some differences in the iso images for 5.0.1 Possibly relating to the build date.

The knoppix-autoconfig file with mine looks like it's incomplete in its' range of checking. I'll need to look at it more fully to be sure. But so far, it seems to mount the knoppix.img file but on the very next line it unmounts it ! With out any message echo for both operations. Which would explain it the apparent 'not being found' experience.

It seems to be in an incomplete state, or , in a state that requires some serious remastering by design !

Weired really. If it is supposed to be a method of demonstrating Linux and doubling as a rescue technique ... it falls over badly on both counts. Can't see any other reason for a LiveCD if not for those two main purposes.

It tends to taint an otherwise potential work of art ... unfortunately .. as it does have a lot of interesting apps/facilities that are worth looking at, eclipse for one.

But if a person can't get it up in the first place, without having to jump through so many hoops, that amount to an almost complete reconfiguration of the boot scripts ... ho hummm

Can't recommend 5.0.1 to anyone, thats for sure.
