Subject: [debian-knoppix] Small bug in (automounter+new installer) ...

Hi,
when using automounter on an HD-installed Knoppix (new installer) you
may get mount errors on vfat partitions... (e.g. "ll /mnt/auto/sda1"
pointing to an external usb FAT32 hard disk) This is because automounter
is trying to use "uid=knoppix,gid=knoppix" options but the user no
longer exists!

Workaround:

1) create "knoppix" user

or, better...

2) edit "/etc/automount.sh" and change/remove the line with
    "uid=knoppix,gid=knoppix" with whatever you need...

Sorry if it is an already known bug, at the moment I cannot open any
knoppix site :(

Bye
