    login as root - bye sudo

    If you want login as root and not as the default knoppix user there is a way.
    At boot time type

    knoppix single

    you will login in text mode then

    root@tty[/]# startx

    to start kde

    That is all. Now you are full root.
    No more need for sudo.
    knoppix easier than ever. :P

    use knoppix single 1 2 3 or 4

    an alternative is getting a password with

    root@tty[/]# passwd

    an then

    root@tty[/]# kdm

    this way you will login with the usual wallpaper and the girl voice

    I've tried booting with "knoppix single" start x, etc. I also made myself a root@tty login with a password, but I still cannot alter, move, or delete, or change permissions on any file from my old windows system. :cry:

    Hard drive partitions are mounted read-only as a precaution, to mount a drive as read-write :
    Code:
    mount -o remount,rw /mnt/hda1
    for hda1.

    Re: login as root - bye sudo

    --Just so you know, running everything as root is a **huge** security hole and can be quite dangerous to all mounted filesystems if an ' rm ' command goes wrong. But for a live-cd with everything mounted read-only by default, it's not that critical.

    --Incidentally this is a good way to save memory, since you have only 1 tty terminal. If you boot with another desktop (icewm, et al) it will save even more resources.

    Code:
    sudo partimage
    should work
    sudo should give you acess to most programs.
