Damn Small Linux 4.4.10?

[Forester]

I tried to register on the damn small linux forum but the activation link doesn't work and I saw a link to this forum on the DSL page so here I am.

I got a little issue with DSL 4.4.10 and since it is based on Debian and KNOPPIX and the issue is KNOPPIX related I hope that you can help me.

DSL is dormant. It did not make the leap to Knoppix 6. I surmise that the version you have is based on Knoppix 5. I don't expect many on this forum can remember Knoppix 5.

I don't think your issue is Knoppix related or that anyone can help you ....

I made a multiboot dvd with the program easyboot and added various linux distro's but because of that I had to rename folders and I renamed the folder "KNOPPIX" from the Damn small linux distro into "DSLINUX" but I forgot to change the value knoppix_folder in the minirt24 file to dslinux.

I surmise your need to rename directories is because you want Knoppix and DSL on your multiboot DVD.

Perhaps you should make good your lacuna in minirt24 and try again.

The problem is that DSL searches for the knoppix file in the KNOPPIX folder but was renamed to DSLINUX and what I want to do is that DSL looks for the knoppix file in the folder called DSLINUX.

The problem is that you read what you expect to read, not what is written.

The cheat code you quote is knoppix_dir= but you type knoppix_folder= consistently.

The problem is that I don't know much about gnu/linux so I don't know how to write a command which will work.

A entirely different but equally self-evident problem.

but this doesn't work since I don't know how to define the root properly (the root should be the DVD drive).

Knoppix and, by inference, DSL don't need a root=. Try without. If root= is an easyboot thing then sr0 might work. Knoppix 5 and, by interfence, DSL 4.4 don't do sr0: they do hda, hdb, hdc and hdd but it should try them all and find the KNOPPIX image provided it looks in the right directory. If you have real trouble then I think the cheat code to use is fromhd=

I hope you understand what I want.

No comment.

Regards and thanks in advance.

You're welcome.
