Update for Knoppix 8.2: The same procedure also works with Knoppix 8.2, but there were a few complications I didn't really understand. I also tried the "hybrid" direct dump option, but didn't get a...

The problem with flash-knoppix not recognizing drives seems to depend on the type of drive. An old, quite slow 16GB USB2 stick (Kingston DataTraveler G2) was handled straight away. But the problem...

Posting this from 8.1 Poor Man's Install. For the first time, I have had to manually set screen resolution - wrong detection left me with an unusable Knoppix.
But, as so often, the...

Have just repeated the procedure with Knoppix 8.1 under Debian 8.3 live. A bit more glitches than earlier, but it has worked.
Downloaded the ISO+md5sums and went to the directory. Kvm had no...

For the record, here is the script used to remaster Debian Live 9.1.0. Basically, it performs the aufs union mount, copies the whole thing to a directory with rsync, and then compresses the result....

Installing a fully functioning live Debian 9.1.0 on the HP ProBook 450 G3 was a bit of a challenge, as the Intel 3165 wireless adapter required non-free + drivers + firmware. Using Debian 8.3.0 can...

Procedure works for 7.7.1, I ran it from Debian 8.3. Mounting a USB stick which was recognized as /dev/sdb for creating a bootable USB version with persistent store.

I have used the same procedure for getting the newest Debian 8.3.0 live installed with persistence. It took some time getting the details right, as the persistence setup has changed from Wheezy to...

There may be problems with kvm kernel modules not being loaded. There should be two modules loaded, kvm and either kvm-intel or kvm-amd. If you don't know the processor type, and load status just...

As I commented on above, the -m 1024 parameter specifies 1GB RAM for the VM, but Knoppix can run with less. I'm currently using machines with 8 or 16 GB RAM for such system administration, but I...

Just want to report a small surprise: I could run 64 bits Debian Live 8.3 ISO with kvm on Knoppix 7.6.1.

That ISO was not copied into the persistent store, which is almost exclusively used for...

(Continued) Now I have 7.6.1 on a USB stick, with persistent store and a few programs updated/installed. I have one directory on the pc HD where live versions are preferentially stored and run from...

This is well known, but there are a few refinements that can be useful.
First, connect a USB stick, here it is identified, e.g.by fdisk -l as /dev/sdc. Go to the download directory and boot the...
