I have an M-systems DiskOnkey USB disk

I run Knopppix 3.4
under vmware workstation 3.2 build 2230 over a Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional sp3

I had to go to Devices in vmware to allow sending my usb to the linux box.

-----------------------
i too get 4 partitons for my small 32mb usb device, but hey thats life..

when i mount /dev/sda1 it has a file devices there that tells me the exact company, so i know it's recognized.

at first i edited the /etc/fstab manually (im new to linux, jus installed yesterday..)
and it worked, mounting to /dev/bus/usb
-thanks goolgle, and linux-org, linux-usb and others..

----------------
now i restarted and simply typed in

mount /dev/sda4 /dev/sda4
when i clicked the sda4 icon in the dsktop, it was already mounted, and a quick check with
mount informed me it was already rw for owner..

owner being root i assume

btw, i have been mounting through smbfs which is much more convenient..

the cmdline is

mkdir /mnt/sharename
mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //windowsmachine/share /mnt/sharename
ln -s /mnt/sharename ~/sharename

this is very easy to acheive, and since i am having trouble with setting up the home dir and config file to a stadard port, i keep having to type in these commands with every boot. luckily the vmware allows me to suspend the machine instead of closing it.



i use x-win 5.2 and putty with X11 forwarding
but i cant setup the knoppix box to NOT LOAD X-Windows on startup, does anyone know how i can do this ?

i want to load X by myself, from a terminal.

thanks.
