  1. If you wish to remaster the CD, please don't forget to specify
    -b KNOPPIX/boot.img
    for the german version of the bootfloppy, or
    -b KNOPPIX/boot-en.img for the english version, as option to mkisofs. Otherwise your CD won't be bootable. The directory KNOPPIX, containig the compressed filesystem file "KNOPPIX", must be located in the top level directory of the CD.


  2. Caution: X-Screensaver: Don't start xlock or any screensaver that requires a password. There are no default passwords on KNOPPIX, i.e. all accounts are LOCKED unless you explicitly set a password. See also README_Security.txt about this issue. If you accidentially hit the screensaver button in KDE, switch to one of the textconsoles by Control-Alt-F1 and kill the screensaver (or just set a password for the knoppix user).

  3. If you would like to edit your X-Server configuration manually (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 for XFree86 V4.x), use "knoppix 2" to boot into runlevel 2 (textmode only) and type "ls /usr/X11R6/bin/XF*" to see a list of all available X-Servers. Once you verified that your X-Server is working correctly, you can run the X startup script with "/etc/init.d/xsession start".
