Greetings,
First and foremost; WOW! Knoppix is an amazing product. Thx!
I am attempting to run Knoppix Persistent Home 0.2 from a usb key (www.usbkeydrive.com - 128M ver). I am a moderately able linux admin/user; much to learn.
I have read the docs. I installed it, picked /dev/sda1 as my persistant home and let it format part of the usb key drive (64M worth).
Neither of the install files copied any of my existing $HOME over to the usbkeydrive (now the home dir) so I manually copied (even the hidden) files over.
It is not working for me. I have tried several times and nothing seems to work.
When I try to run a program it relays: "Launcher not able with DCOMS" or something close to that.
What am I missing? I desparately want this to work with my key so that I can move from machine to machine in the lab with a 64M $HOME.
Can someone break down my doofus screwup? Im confident that it is me and not the software.
Thx,
Fred Nix
