Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
My idea, that is in the upcoming knoppix-installer-0.3 is to use CMDLINE
from environment, if its set ...
Fair enough, I'd prefer KNOPPIX_CMDLINE though..
Hm, I see why you do it, but I have a better solution ...
BOOT_nomkxf86config=yes
Not, needed. Just saves time, but its sooo less time, so its not worth ...
And you can easily create a new XF86Config-4 if you rename the old one and
reboot ... :-))
Hmm, I think you don't even have to rename the old one,
your carefully tuned(tm) XF86Config-4 is overwritten nonetheless?
I use /etc/default/knoppix
Fine with me, still I'd personally prefer /etc/default/rcS simply
because knoppix-autoconfig effectively _is_ /etc/init.d/rcS.
# Set hostname
-hostname Knoppix
+hostname "$(cat /etc/hostname)"
Hm, this one _could_ be done ...
Yes, please apply.
# Set clock (Local time is more often used than GMT, so it is default)
UTC=""

Is this needed ?
I just want to avoid needless writing to /etc, especially this early
in the boot process. Also the symlink carries more information than
the copy in this case (what timezone did I configure again? "ls -l
/etc/localtime" will tell you).

Thats general a good idea, but why do you want it ?
fstab creation does not cost much time ...
Again, my carefully tuned(tm) /etc/fstab on harddisk shouldn't be
overwritten. E.g., consider swap priorities and such.
Please wait for knoppix-installer 0.3 it will have everything you mentioned
in new "beginner" mode and also much more ...
Ok, looking forward to it.

Wolfram.
