Hi Stephen,
Thanks for those, I get a partial restoration of settings by using:
knoppix floppyconfig
There are however, a fair few omissions and I don't fully understand this.
I might be wrong here, it would seem that I would need to enquire about backing up specific items individually rather than hope for something like a 'one click save/restore all' approach.
For example, by using floppyconfig, I can restore these altered settings:
timezone
last used apps (appears at the top of the 'start' menu)
desktop background
kppp provider
but not these:
altered size of desktop icons
kppp username & password
passwd (the one I need to make via the root shell in order to change time/date settings for instance)
There is very little documentation on this, I have not found anything relevant except for some distro specific commands for restoration from live-cds, which all are stripped down remasters of knoppix.
The restore config app doesn't work for me.
I am left wondering how others have managed to address this, or whether this is an issue unique to me; I've tried damn small linux, featherlinux and knoppix to date, all live-cds, all seem to partially restore from floppy, yet promise to fully restore settings.
I can boot from the floppy drive, I am using fairly new hardware, I have set the bios to boot sequence cdrom, floppy, hd.
/me don't know whats wrong here
