Okay, well that was news to me...
No I thought I was booting from floppy. But you say I need to have the whole thing boot from boot floppy 1st and then insert config floppy.
Well I tried that. Had to be quick to change floppys between the time it took for floppy1(boot) to finish what it was doing, then quickly insert floppy2 before the boot sequence said it was reading knoppix.sh.
Problem is, it didn't boot into my previously saved settings(as usual).
It was same old cd default.
Here is what it says in knoppix.sh if i open it using kEdit:
#!/bin/sh
[ "`id -u`" = "0" ] || { echo "You need root privileges to modify the system!" >&2 ; exit 1; }
[ -d "$1" ] && CONFIGS="$1/configs.tbz"
[ -f "$CONFIGS" ] || CONFIGS="/cdrom/KNOPPIX/configs.tbz"
[ -f "$CONFIGS" ] || CONFIGS="/mnt/floppy/configs.tbz"
if [ -f "$CONFIGS" ]; then
echo " [1mExtracting config archive $CONFIGS... [0m"
tar -jpPtf "$CONFIGS" | while read i; do rm -f "$i"; done
tar -jpPxf "$CONFIGS" ;
fi
*********************************************
so it says I need root privileges if I am to get anywhere.
How do I 'sign on' as root to get the configuration save to be more than a moot excercise?
Puh-lease help me in an explanatory manner.
A curt reply to this newbie will be a waste of both of our times.
Thx in advance
