Please excuse such an elementary enquiry. Given an installed h/d version of Knoppix/Debian, how is it possible to intercept the booting process to add cheat codes prior to start up? In earlier versions of Mandrake, this used to be possible with the F1 key or hold-down CTRL key (as with Windows). I need to do this to take full advantage of caddied hard discs run on different hardware.
Thank you,
OG.
