For example, home=/dev/sda1. Whenever you put the Knoppix CD intothis machine and boot it, you type that information at the boot promptin the format knoppix home=/dev/sda1. This command tells Knoppixto go look and find your home directory. 9.While you re at it, from the main menu, choose KNOPPIX.Configure. Save KNOPPIX Configuration. Now you can configure things to your preferences and have it be persis- tent. A dialog box appears. 10.Stick with the defaults for the types of configuration files and just click OK. Another query dialog box opens. 11.Choose your new home location for saving and click OK. Make note of the information in the final dialog box. Now you would type, at the boot prompt, knoppix home=/dev/sda1 myconfig=/dev/sda1. Installing KnoppixWhile Knoppix is primarily a LiveCD, you can actually install this distribution. If you decide to do so, you may want to first see Chapter 2 for how to make anychanges you might need to make on your machine before beginning the instal- lation. For example, you may want to have already created the partition youwant to put Knoppix in. Fortunately, you can use Knoppix to make the parti- tion! (Again, see Chapter 2.) You can also, instead of starting with Step 5 inthe upcoming steps, choose the Partition menu option to do your partition- ing during the installation and then, when the partitioning is done, return toStep 5. Another caveat is that Knoppix doesn t have a friendly way to set up your bootmenu for dual booting. One (long) way around this is to install Fedora or oneof the other versions of Linux included on the DVD-ROM first and then look inthe file /boot/grub/menu.lst. You find an entry that looks something like thefollowing: title Windows XProot (hd0,0) makeactivechainloader +1Copy this section down. After you ve installed Knoppix, you can then go editits /boot/grub/menu.lst file to add the four lines you found in the other distri- bution to it and reboot. This actions adds a boot menu entry for Windows. (It s important that you don t just copy the hd0,0 part from here, unless yourWindows installation is really on the first hard drive, in its first partition.) 384Part V:The Part of Tens
