gud evening everyone,
i am trying to remaster knoppix version 3.8.2.
i was trying the commands in bold:
Copy /etc/skel to /home/knoppix
 cp -Rp /etc/skel /home/knoppix
Change the user of /home/knoppix and its files to user knoppix
 chown -R knoppix:knoppix /home/knoppix
Change the permissions of /tmp to full read/write and execute permissions.
 chmod 777 /tmp
Make knoppix as the super user
 su - knoppix
after this i was unable to make knoppix as the super user.
like while mounting pen drive and while trying to access any folder in the / directory,i encountered the error permission denied,you must be root.
