My IS Director (mainframe, usually would like to see me dead, or at least silent) came to me with a problem. 1st he wanted to know I used the MF. X3270 in 132 column mode. Better looking than even he has. Then he explained that no one makes 3270 dumb terminals at a price we are willing to pay for. But real PCs are way overkill. And we have a stack of throwaway PCs, PIIs, Celerons, etc, that will not run Win2K. Can\ufffdt we use those? My response is that any non-standard hardware is a support killer, that was why he got rid of it all when he had the chance. But if we could treat it as a CD bootable workstation and throw it away if it breaks, then it is usable. KNOPPIX! 1 minute after rebooting we were logging into the mainframe.

Post #65,480 by broomberg 11/27/02 2:33:31 PM Reply	How do I modify it? I'd like to autostart the x3270 session. I guess I'll have to copy the ISO image into the file system, unroll it, make my changes, and copy it back. It there a documented way, or an I on my own?

Post #65,489 by broomberg 11/27/02 3:10:27 PM Reply	I think there is a simpler way You can save your configuration to a floppy . This is via the KMenu->Knoppix->Configure->Save Then boot via knoppix floppyconfig This will load everything up the way you had it set. This will NOT save the current programs. But it seems to give you a hook into modifying the startup, so I'll look there. If that doesn't work, then I'll roll my own.

Post #65,502 by broomberg 11/27/02 4:17:10 PM Reply	Confused What do you mean? Anyway, extract out the configs.tbz file, drop in my own shell scripts in .kde/Autorun, and done. I think Knoppix should default to looking at the floppy during boot, rather than force the user to type in the command.

Post #65,506 by broomberg 11/27/02 4:25:48 PM Reply	Understand now Actually, no, you didn't beat me. I was typing into IWETHEY, and testing, and typing, and testing. I may have submitted 12 seconds after you, but at least I provided real information, as opposed to random suspicions. To call what you did "beating me" would be the same as saying vaporware wins over the real thing. HA!

Post #65,488 by admin 11/27/02 3:10:12 PM Reply	There's also a floppy config I haven't looked at it; dunno if it does startup stuff too. Worth investigating at least, though, I wot. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
