Re: knoppix apache ?

Hi Greg and everybody,

Although I have never tried it, I understand that one can use a floppy
to change defaults in knoppix (and even perhaps have it automatically
set up the conditions you desire).

I would have it boot to the command line in any case.

Depending upon the version of Knoppix, you may have to start apache.

Hardware detection is getting better all the time. I did a Debian
install using Debian Installer Release Candidate 2 just last week. I had
set up the external, USB, drive as you prescribed with debmirror (that
is a story in itself!), and DIrc2 detected the USB drive and mounted it.
So all I had to do when it came time to insert the mirror location was
to point it to the proper subdirectory on the USB drive. I did have to
set up a soft link called "testing" to the "sarge" directory tree.

So, does your version of Knoppix detect the firewire attachment?

One of these days, I am thinking about planning to set up a floppy so
when I boot up Knoppix at UAA, it comes up with certain defaults I now
have to enter by hand. =:-)}}}
