Hi,
I have a question regarding knoppix. If we boot from a knoppix CD, Is
it possible to get any software installed on it ? Because, whenever I
try to install something it says its not writable. Please advice.
*If* there is room on the CD, you can add things to the image and burn a
new CD. The "right" method is to mount the CD and copy everything into a
directory, add the new material, run mkisofs with the right boot options
to make a bootable image, and burn the image.
If you are heavily into burning CDs, you *MIGHT* be able to extract the
ISO image, reburn it with the cdrecord -multi option, and then add your
own stuff in a second session. I haven't tried this, and if you aren't
familiar with burning multisession CDs it's eather a learning experience
or a good thing to avoid.
Check first to see if there's any room on the CD for more stuff!
