Hello all...

I am new to the forums. I have come here because I am starting to drive myself mental in my attempts to remaster knoppix.

I am to create a remastered live cd of knoppix.

I want to change the default windows manager to fluxbox.

I have successful done this (I think so anyways)

I have a custom menu and a custom style and background that I would like to use.
I have copied everything necessary to do this to the /etc/skel file, as well I have changed the files in the /etc/X11/fluxbox to reflex my custom setup.

I also changed the /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig to make sure it boots fluxbox by default

So far I have been successful in getting it to work (well sort of, i actually haven't been able to test it 100%)

The problem that i am having is that when I add the .fluxbox directory to the /home/knoppix directory and go into fluxbox (from the livecd) my custom style shows up but for some reason my background won't show up unless I issue the command:
Code:
fbsetbg -f ~/.fluxbox/backgrounds/smile_joker.jpg
I have installed feh and it is working but still for some reason my background just isn't loading and I can't figure out why. It loads though if i do it manually and all the transparency settings work like a charm

The other thing that I find really weird. If I create a new user with the 'useradd -m <whatever>' command. When I log into the users account, the custom theme shows up but for some reason the .bashrc file is completely ignored and I am given a prompt of: 'sh-3.1$'
It doesn't matter what files I change I can't seem to edit my prompt
It will not read the .bashrc file at all and for some reason the prompt starts at /UNIONFS/root and NOT the users /home directory


Creating new users isn't essential for this livecd because it will only be a live cd and nothing more. But I wanted to test if what I have done so far is working.. and it seems like it is only half working

My fear is that with this testing. When I boot up my remastered knoppix CD and the /home/knoppix/ (the default user) user is created and fluxbox is booted, the environment will not reflect the changes that I have made.


If anyone could help shed some light on changing knoppix over to running fluxbox by default with a custom setup that would be amazing.

I have checked through the forums and as of yet I have not been able to come across the answers I need, or the answers are very vague.

Any help would greatly be appreciated

thank you in advance


cheers
