I am following up again on my original post.

The "credativ-autoconfig" script I attached had several bugs
in it left over from my test scripts - the home directory
partition was hardcoded and there was a "knoppix.sh"
where I meant "credativ.sh".

Here's the latest version in "credativ-autoconfig.0.6.0.newer"

I am following up on my original post -

The modified "saveconfig" script requires an enhanced script
"credativ-autoconfig" which searches for a valid configuration archive. One is attached. It is very
similar to that in latest versions of KNOPPIX.

This also fixes a typographic error: the name of the persistent
home directory was misspelt in Gnoppix 0.6.0 RC2 as
"credtiv" not "credativ".

Please allow the user to save configuration files on any
partition, not just a floppy disk. For example, it is
very useful to put configuration files on a USB memory
stick (/dev/sda1) or on an existing Windows partition
(/dev/hda1). The most recent versions of KNOPPIX allow
this. I attach a modified version of saveconfig which
does this.

Also, this version allows you to save, optionally,
the configuration files belonging to the "root" user.
For example, I use kppp (under KNOPPIX) to connect
to a dial-up account - this must be run as root,
and the settings are stored in ~root/.kde.

Finally, I have renamed the configuration archive
"configs.tbz" to "gonfigs.tbz" - this is so it is
possible to store Knoppix and Gnoppix configurations
on the same partition.

Thank you for Gnoppix,
Peter Wainwright
