I got into /KNOPPIX/boot/grub/menu.lst, but the system refuses to let me add the "secure" cheat code to the DSL line.

So now what do I do?

Edit from root  (e.g., sudo vi ./menu.lst)

note: you edit the copy in the boot directory (mine is in hda1).

If your boot directory is also the one that your DSL frugal is installed on, you could edit it with root privileges in /cdrom as many other forum threads have suggested.
