Re: [debian-knoppix] default boot options
No problem with doing this. Don't forget that users could become
confused as they could be loading a home or config they now nothing
about (if someone else has used the computer).
What I did was just edit knoppix-autoconfig so that scan is the default
for home and config. Then I also added an option to pickup the none as
you mention so people can turn it off. I mainly did this as there was
a problem with the kernel command line on 2.6 which may now be fixed (?)
and adding the options through the bootloader meant people would have
less options available at boot. Either way you do it (if I remember
correctly) either the user input option as opposed to the default of
scan, or the last option entered on the command line (i.e. the one they
input as opposed to the one the boot loader added) will be used so it
should work fine (unless I'm remembering wrong on how the command line
is constructed and parsed).
Now if you want to make splash the default aswell, you should ensure
that somewhere it checks you have a framebuffer before running it (or
you get loads of errors about no framebuffer til you hit a key to kill
the splash).

Hello,
Is there any problem to put the knoppix cheatcodes config=scan and home=scan
as default ?
I would like to do this for a remaster, and it is a frequent request from
users.
If it is possible, they should be overwritten by anything entered by the user
at boot, i.e. if the user put home=/dev/sda1/knoppix.img, then there is no
need to scan. And also, there should be something accepted, such as home=none
and config=none to have Knoppix starting without anything.
What do you think?
I am subscribed to this list since several months and did not see this topic
discussed.
Thanks
Yann.
