even though i boot fromhd=hda7, hda7 is not actually mounted even after getting into dsl? is this normal?

because of this, the following also fails:

opt=hda7
home=hda7
mydsl=hda7

can it be a subdir inside /hda7/knoppix/ like so:

opt=hda7/knoppix/opt
home=hda7/knoppix/home
mydsl=hda7/knoppix/mydsl

- so there is less clutter?

i meant: fromhd=/dev/hda7

it boots ok but when i browse the hd i have to mount it first.

if i run mydsl browser to update, i get this error:

Code Sample

wget: mydslinfo.bz2: Permission denied

database check failed. this may be the result of incomplete download or gramlins in your internets.

Not mounting hda7 on boot: that is expected behavior.

As i recall, the "fromhd" bootcode is not for booting up with persistent state.

You need to search the forum/wiki for how to set up persistent home and opt directories.

Ditto for mydsl.

Not sure what's going on with your MyDSL browser.

no, "frugal" does not need "fromhd=*".

i've been to the wiki and searched past messages in this forum. basically, copy

/ramdisk/opt
/ramdisk/home

to /hd??/* and use "opt=*" and "home=*" cheatcodes.

fail. dsl is booting from hda7, and then mounts as rw /dev/hda7 in /cdrom <- is this what's causing the problem?

i have removed the persistence cheatcodes for now but stil, mydsl cannot update its database.
