OK I get it the problem is that /home is not mounted at the moment you
want the script to be run right?
Maybe you could
- cp /your/script /home/knoppix
- saveconfig (to somewhere local eg USB key)
- use boot cheatcodes ; not really sure wether
knoppix home=scan init=/home/knoppix/anyscript
would work (looks a bit dirty anyway) , but I'm positive that
miniroot's linuxrc will restore
/home/knoppix before init starts.
Hope it helps; maybe not at all but anyway, I think you'll have to use
saveconfig if you don't want to remaster the cd because it's the only
way I know to add stuff which is automatically restored at boottime
while not being on the cd. But maybe PXE boot offers alternatives as
you suggested; I've never used it.
