IIRC all versions of Knoppix prior to 4.0.2 had bugs in unionfs to varying degrees.
I believe dsl-n also suffers from this. If I boot with the unionfs cheat, open a terminal,
and issue "ls /etc/", the first time I get segmentation fault. If I do it again, that
process hangs and I must use the power button to shutdown.
I know that this is not something dsl-n can fix except to rebase from a later Knoppix,
I only wanted others to know in case they ran into a similar problem.
I am running dsl-n-a5 (this occurred in a1 and a2 as well) on Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop,
P-II 300MHz 128MB ram 6GB hd frugal install.
I really like this distro and DSL which is my main distro on this laptop. If you hadn't
brought dsl-n out, I would have tried it myself.

That is why it is [i]optional[/i].
We don't use it and don't need it to operate.
If I had completely removed it, everyone would wonder why. |

I also have problems with it (besides understanding), see my other posting:

| RC2 will have a much more reliable unionfs and natively boots using it. |
