It takes some time to display the message "Insert the Windows installation disk" ,but it works. Thanks.
Where did you look for the output of /etc/rc.local ? If you read the file /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig you will find the command line where /etc/rc.local is executed on virtual terminal #12. I think you have to switch over to vt #12. But if there are additional messages on this vt coming from services already started or the kernel it might be difficult to identify rc.local's output. Thus, I think, altering the vt from #12 to #11 could help. In addition I would switch over to vt #11 before the read command is executed. The old command line in /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig isOriginally Posted by Marietto
The new command line could beCode:[ -x /etc/rc.local ] && /usr/bin/openvt -c 12 -f -- /etc/rc.local
Code:[ -x /etc/rc.local ] && /usr/bin/openvt -c 11 -w -b -f -s -- /etc/rc.local
