OK i have the latest knoppix version downloaded but im having some major problems here.
i have an ext2 partition on hda1 of the size 1024MB
only other partitions i have are ntfs which is 59GB
anyway, when i was in knoppix i chose to create a persistant home directory, and it formatted /dev/hda1 just fine, and copied required data.
I then choose to save my knoppix configuration to that partition also (to save my network settings and such).
how i have a problem
i rebooted knoppix and run the following command at the prompt
knoppix home=/dev/hda1 myconfig=/dev/hda1
it starts up, and all my network settings and such are working.
BUT, when i save to /home/knoppix it DOESN'T save to the harddrive ???
/home/knoppix is still a ramdrive.
This is a big problem because i need to preform a 600MB download via knoppix, and when it saves to the RAM in the system, it crashes the system cos the O/S only has 256MB of physical memory.
i dont get why /home/knoppix doesn't save to the harddrive if i run knoppix home=/dev/hda1
am i doing something wrong.
also, if a save something to /home/knoppix, after reboot it has gone, so it is DEFFINENTLY not writting to the hard drive
any idea's?
thanx
