Recipe 13.4. Saving Your Knoppix Configuration on a USB Memory Stick

 < Day Day Up > 

13.4.1 Problem

You would like to save your Knoppix configuration, such as network settings and desktop configuration, so you don't have to start over every time.

13.4.2 Solution

This is a perfect job for one of those little USB memory sticks. Boot Knoppix with the memory stick inserted. On the Knoppix menu, look for Configuration Save KNOPPIX Configuration. Select /dev/sda1 as the device to save it to.

Now when you boot Knoppix, make sure your USB stick is inserted, and use the following boot command:

knoppix myconfig=/dev/sda1

You may also make Knoppix autodetect it:

knoppix myconfig=scan

13.4.3 Discussion

256- and 512-MB USB pen drives are getting dirt cheap. Carry one of these and a Knoppix disk, and you can make yourself at home almost anywhere.
