Knoppix starts up with the hard disk(s) mounted read only. To save a file to hard disk, you must choose a partition which you are willing to switch to read/write. Then, find the item in one of the Knoppix menus that does the switch for you. Alternatively, you can use one of the several suggestions already made to switch to read/write using commands at a console prompt. This will surely involve running as root. To become root on a console in Knoppix, find the menu item, root console, or something like that. You do not need to know a root password. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
