Ok, let's try this one again. This time, a little more careful with
vim and it should be fine. Now, I believe I can get the vim problem
solved here. I will just be careful with it. I have one more
question, rather couple of questions to ask about the
mkpersistenthome script.
It appears to me, and I may be totally wrong, that the
mkpersistenthome script does not work. When I try to make my
persistent home directory on the usb device I have, I cannot get past
the part of the script where it asks you for the partition to put the
image file onto. How do I move and select the item in the menu for
the partition /dev/sda1 and make it go on past that?
Now, the only other question I have is this. I used to use a knoppix
knock-off. This is what the Oralux distribution is based on.
However, there appear to be many more packages here than in this
version. The good thing I miss is this: On Oralux, and you can try
it by downloading the file:
http://oralux.rs.sr/Oralux_0.7.iso
You have this program called knoppix-mkimage, which allows you to
create this kind of virtual hard disk image of your entire system.
Then, through the wonders of unionfs, you can have the usb device
mounted, boot the cd, and you can have this image where you can
install your favorite packages on the hard drive, and the unionfs
will bring it all together and put the files into the right
directories. Does grml do this with þhe mkpersistenthome script?
Thank you for your information. I look forward to hearing from you
about this.
Thank you.
