Persistant Home problem

[monkeyman]

When I attempt to create persistant home as an image AES encryption is envoked without a pop-up to enable/disable encryption and without an opportunity to enter a password. Does anyone know a work around for this?

Knoppix version 3.3 092403

Hi,

if you let knoppix make the persistant home as an image,
it does forget to make the filesystem on the image. So, during boot, since it
detects no filesystem on the image, the conclusion is to mount via AES
encryption.

The solution is: start without the "home=scan" option, mount the partition rw
where your knoppix.img resists, then format it, e.g:

mkreiserfs -f /mnt/sda1/knoppix.img
(and say yes ...)
