The following is not a really a complaint. It's more an observation, based on the default boot (KDE, etc.)
I ran into a slight snag when saving my KNOPPIX configuration to floppy the other day. When I next booted and used "knoppix floppyconfig" to re-load the saved configuration, my FAT32 Windows hard drives acted strangely. Though they showed as mounted (as denoted by the green arrows along side the icons), I couldn't make them writeable. Unmounting them gave an error that they were not mounted, but then remounting the drives made it possible for them to be made writeable.
Through experimentation, I discovered that my hard drives should NOT be mounted when I save my KNOPPIX configuration to floppy, or the wierdness described above happens. Have others observed this behavior? Is it documented?
