What you are probably doing is booting up the knoppix kernel - either way, your username is knoppix. Don't try to add another user, that leads to heartache with Knoppix.
Where is the config file for the bootup process? I want to at least change the timeout value to 0,
The delay is only 3 seconds! The long delay you report is probably due to reading the CD.
so that I do not have to sit at my computer and wait for the login screen. Or preferably just change the default to login with knoppix or some other user.
The best way to do that is to download another (non-Adriane) version from this list.
Also, it seems stange that you do not enter a password in this linux system. I tried changing the knoppix password. But when it asks for my current password, it does not accept it. Well, I never set a password. So what could it be besides an empty string.
There is NO password until you set one - it makes no sense to have one with Live CD, as was previously mentioned.
Also, when I added a user, the login screen would not accept.
Your changes will not remain if you don't have a persistent store. That pretty much requires a flash drive install, though the medium can also be the hard drive (I use that myself, as it's faster than a flash drive.) As mentioned above, you really should not try to add another user - Knoppix is heavily customized for CD-type usage, and adding another user will not end well (the customizations don't all carry over to the new user, AFAICT.)
So I can only login with knoppix with no password which I do not want and I have to sit and wait for the login prompt lest it loads something up by default that I do not want. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hope that helps!
