Still, that's an interesting solution - no doubt born out of frustration -
I bet one day, after a bit of head-scratching, you said to yourself, "Fsck
it, I'll just edit the darn thing directly, mumble, mumble mumble..." :)
I certainly agree with you about this area being unclear. The related
documentation is about as clear as mud to me. I have gained further
(limited) understanding by looking at the scripts and following the code,
but it is certainly not an easy task. David, however, should be able to
get a quick answer in the knoppix-related forums, as the problem is
evidently a common one for knoppix users. Hopefully, if someone helps
him, he will take the trouble to actually thank them.
