H'mm. Dunno why it's not working, and I don't have the scripting abilities of SunnyB. But you can do weird things like this:
(persistent home is on the root of hdb2, an ext3 partition, and named "knoppix.img;" saved configs are on hda5)
boot: knoppix26 myconf=/dev/hda5 2
... Knoppix starts up into text mode ...
root@tty1[root]#cd /home
root@tty1[home]#rm -rf knoppix
root@tty1[home]#mkdir knoppix
root@tty1[home]#mount -t ext3 -o rw /dev/hdb2 /mnt/hdb2
root@tty1[home]#mount -o loop,rw /mnt/hdb2/knoppix.img /home/knoppix
root@tty1[home]#passwd knoppix
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
... unless you've already set one ...
root@tty1[home]#login knoppix
Password:
... Debian startup messages appear ...
knoppix@tty1[knoppix]$startx
That puts you in KDE with /mnt/hdb2/knoppix.img mounted as your home dir. One would imagine you could choose amongst several persistent home dirs this way.
