fetchmail doens't like root
Hello,
when I remaster Knoppix all works fine if I remove some packages, but I encounter a problem with fetchmail:
fetchmail doesn't work if I am root. So, when I remastered Knoppix I created a file .fetchmailrc in /home/knoppix in my chrooted environment and fetchmail download correctly my mails. (as user knoppix)
Well, I put my new version of Knoppix on my pendrive and I booted on it.
Unfortunately the home -> ramdisk/home/knoppix doesn't contain the file .fetchmailrc, this file is in /KNOPPIX/home/knoppix.
My question is:
How can I download the directory /KNOPPIX/home/knoppix in the ramdisk at the boot ?

Put the .fetchmailrc file in /etc/skel on the remaster. When Knoppix boot the contents of /etc/skel are copied to /home/knoppix.
