The script /etc/init.d/credativ-autoconfig (Gnoppix 0.6.0 RC2)
seems to have a typo - /home/credtiv instead of /home/credativ.
This would explain why the persistent home dir does not mount
correctly first time. The AES problem I can't explain

I'm using Gnoppix-RC 0.62 and I have the same problem.

I've tried Knoppix 3.4 and I successfully create the home directory and saved my configuration

Hi. I'm using Gnoppix-RC 0.62 and I want to make the credativ home directory permanent on my windows partition. I used the utility for doing so and it seemed to work: it created a 200 Mb credativ.img file at the root of my win partition. When I reboot into Gnoppix now (from CD, of course) I typed at the boot prompt:

boot: credative home=/dev/hda1

It went past this point and seemed to be booting fine, until I encountered a prompt asking me for the AES256 password (which I didn't set when I made the image earlier). Confused, I then rebooted into gnoppix and made the home directory image WITH the AES256 password, but got this error:

The Gnoppix configuration could not be saved: ioctl:
LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid arguement.

If anyone could help with this it would be greatly appreciated. Gnoppix is a great concept but it stinks having to configure everything each time I want to use it.

Thanks.
