[[debian-knoppix]] Starting SSH and Samba with floppyconfig

From: Chris Liechti <cliechti>

I recently ran into a little problem: i wanted to copy away data from a PC without screen and keyboard, but knoppix needs these two...

solution: make a bootfloppy with a knoppix.sh script on it that sets the passwords and starts the servers. so what you find here is the result of these efforts.

to use them, create a knoppix bootfloppy and copy these two on it. Optionaly use the "hostname", "password" and/or "ip" boot options (see comments in knoppix.sh for more information)

knopper: maybe are the "hostname" and "ip" kernel cmd line options also useful for the normal knoppix-autoconfigure? btw i did not see where the ip/nm/gw options are used in knoppix-terminalserver... they are assigned to variables but never used?!? "hostname" could be useful in case somebody wants to start several knoppix machines with servers (apache, samba, etc)

have fun
