Life CD

[pierre]

Can I save settings on a local partition when using Live CD and Knoppix ?

In a way boot from the CD but also start up with my profile and setting lacated on a linux partition or Linux swap partion ?

I have Knoppix running now from my CD and very impressed with it and all the option that come with it on the 3.6 cd.

But if I download my mail for instance, this would al end up in a temp file I would image.

Is there some way to mount a bit of harddisk to save files on my pc or would this require a HD install of Knoppix ?

greets, Pierre

You want to set up a persistant home directory that saves your settings.

Thx for the reply, I had already accidentally stumbled upon this option and the save confic under the knoppix configure menu...

Thinking it would be real tricky yo set up, I thought I'd ask the forum...

However what has been inpossible for me to find is how to get access to the root, I dont know how to set my password for admin toget full rights.

Your assistance would be a big help

And loving this OS, not requiring a full install just runs of the cd, leaving my fragile windows pc fully intact only requiring to add one small linux partition to save my config on, great concept!!

Thx nikolay,

Now I have to figure out how to set up my other pc as server. Also how to setup a network.. That will be keeping me busy for a bit I should think... Any suggestions are welcome offcourse.
