I often boot to Knoppix 2 (the command-line). Up through Knoppix 6, I always mounted an NTFS volume first thing after getting to the command prompt:

Code:
mkdir /mnt/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 -t ntfs -v -o noatime,utf8
Now, in Knoppix 7.0.5, on both the CD and DVD versions, I get the following error after attempting the mount:

Code:
No access to local display (XAUTHORITY=), exiting.
Booting to the Knoppix GUI and performing the same commands from a terminal window works, but I can't see why I can't mount NTFS without the GUI. Am I missing something?
