knoppix version: webserver, php & mysql

[jfitie]

ok, thanks...

Is there anyway of stopping me having to press enter when i moans about memory problems?
I was hoping for it to just boot straight up and load apache/php/ftp/ssh. I also dont need any xwindows stuff loading, as it seems to take ages doing that before it eventually put me into text mode

Thanks,
Andy

Sure;

add a file to your knoppix CD called /KNOPPIX/knoppix.sh that looks like this:

#!/bin/bash

/etc/init.d/apache start
/etc/init.d/mysql start
/etc/init.d/ssh start

# Start shell
/bin/bash

# Reboot after logout
/sbin/reboot -f

This will start your services and load a shell BEFORE X gets started. Typing logout or pressing CTRL+D in the shell will reboot the machine.
