hello luggers,
first of all i would like to thank you for helping me with the
grub.conf
file to boot into my knoppix partition.
the entry that i made in my grub.conf file for knoppix is as
follows:
title Knoppix
root (hd0,8)
kernel /vmlinuz ro
initrd /initrd.gz
one thing that i would like to point though, is that there are
not 2 copies
of grub.conf, one in /boot/grub and the other in /etc. in fact
the
/etc/grub.conf is a link to /boot/grub/grub.conf
i would also like to thank you all, for in the process of
configuring my
grub.conf, i learned some commands on the grub prompt
now, that the question of booting into the knoppix partition is
solved, i
would like to ask another question.
i am getting very *BIG* fonts/icons in the knoppix gui. i
changed the
screen resolution to 1024x768 in the file /etc/X11/XF86Config,
but it did
not help. i continue getting huge fonts/icons even after
rebooting.
i am attaching the part of the file mentioned, that relates to
my screen.
