USB booting :: Permanent java apps on a USB stick



OK. I will delete /mnt/sdb2/home and forget home=/dev/sdb2 on my next boot.

I am not able to modify bashrc or profile even as superuser. I thought that it was because of the frugal install.

I also typed this:
dsl@box:~$ ldd -v grass

and got that (even as superuser):
ldd: ./qgis: No such file or directory

although I don't know if I did it right.

If you don't know the full path, you can do something like
ldd `which grass`

If you really want to modify those system files, you problably have to remove those then copy them from KNOPPIX into ramdisk.

Hi,

I tried:

dsl@box:~$ ldd qgis
ldd: ./qgis: No such file or directory
dsl@box:~$ sudo ldd qgis
ldd: ./qgis: No such file or directory
dsl@box:~$ ldd which qgis
which:
ldd: ./which: No such file or directory
qgis:
ldd: ./qgis: No such file or directory
dsl@box:~$ ldd 'which qgis'
ldd: ./which qgis: No such file or directory
dsl@box:~$ sudo ldd 'which qgis'
ldd: ./which qgis: No such file or directory
dsl@box:~$ sudo ldd which qgis
which:
ldd: ./which: No such file or directory
qgis:
ldd: ./qgis: No such file or directory
dsl@box:~$

But QGIS is there:

dsl@box:~$ whereis qgis
qgis: /usr/bin/qgis /usr/lib/qgis /usr/share/qgis /usr/share/man/man1/qgis.1.gz

I doubt that my deb files are not written properly in bootlocal.sh, I used copy/paste. What else can I do to make it work?

Also, I copied bashrc and profile from /KNOPPIX/etc to /ramdisk/etc and added /mnt/sdb2/opt/jre1_5_0/bin to both for the PATH. What do I do from there? I tried to replace them back in /KNOPPIX/etc, but they cannot be removed as they are read-only files.

Thanks,

Those are back-ticks, usually left of your keyboard's 1 key and the same as the ~ key.  It's used for command substitution.
Why don't you select+paste?
Anyways, alternative ways are to use $() instead of `` or you could also manually type out the full path yourself.

Sorry, I am a newbie with Linux. Here is what I got:
