Maybe your right I made a different assumption because I know that Knoppix puts all it's config into memory unless you choose to install it to the hard drive. If it was still booting off the CD all his changes would have disappeared when the power went off. Maybe Terry Milnes can tell us what happened in more detail of it screwed up his SuSE install or go to the Knoppix forum if it is with his Knoppix install.

Oh, I thought Knoppix might've messed up his SuSE installation (which surprised somewhat) and he wanted to have his original SuSE-setup back.

Here is what happened: Power went out while downloading a file to /tmp. Remembered that I have SuSE setup to delete /tmp on boot. Decided to use KNOPPIX as a rescue CD and move file from /tmp to /home/terry. DID NOT INSTALL KNOPPIX TO HDD. Upon reboot my prompt has changed to user@KNOPPIX> and when I check my hostname it says KNOPPIX. I have changed /etc/HOSTNAME back to IOS.local to no avail. Is there somewhere else that KNOPPIX might have changed my config? BTW I have been using SuSE since 6.2 days. I know my way around linux and SuSE in particular. I just have never seen a CD only linux change files on the HDD. NeoFax Terry Milnes
