Run Knoppix OS as a different user (not root)

Run Root Console

adduser                              - create new user
     .
     .

Modify "/etc/init.d/*xsession" file. Find "USER=root" and change it to "USER=%UserName%" (aproximately 5th line), where %UserName% is the user name of created user.

Run "visudo" to modify "/etc/sudoers". There you have to find and change "knoppix" to "%UserName%", where %UserName% is the user name of created user.

This change will allow you to run Root Console.

Reboot Knoppix.
