[FileSystem]s
-When creating an ext3 filesystem with
[Knoppix] 3.1 the filesystem is created
with an extra option that prevents debian woody from being able to
fsck it correctly
(hence it cannot boot
). Too get around
this after you have created your ext3 filesystem (mke2fs -j <device>) execute the following commands
+[Knoppix] 3.1 creates [Ext3] [FileSystem]s
with an extra option which
fsck(8
) on [Debian] Woody does not support. This prevents Woody from booting
. You can fix
this by issuing

!! Swapping
-When booting on a machine which has a swap partition,
Knoppix should automagically find it
and use it. This will make the whole system much faster (remember that it has no real disk only ram disk
by default). Alternatively you can set up a file called "swapfile" in the root directory of any non-[NTFS] partition and Knoppix will use that as a swap file. Details at:
