myconfig=scanfloppyconfigfloppyconf

Run knoppix.sh from a floppy. The floppyconfig option allows you to reconfigure the system after autoconfig, or install your own config files, by mounting a floppy disk and running a Bourne shell script called knoppix.sh from the root directory on this floppy. There is a GUI to create such a configuration floppy disk called saveconfig (also located in the KDE menu under KNOPPIX, but experts also know how to do this by creating their own shell scripts. The configuration with network and graphics setup are stored in configs.tbz. A file called knoppix.sh, if located in the top-level KNOPPIX directory on the CD, will also be executed at startup. This makes it easier to create customized versions without having to change anything on the compressed filesystem KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.
