You are correct. Perhaps the Knoppix devel team wrote some script that will do it, but I haven't found it.So at the moment in fact it is not possible to save changes ... .
I am interested to write installed programs to a hard disk. I understand that I have to remaster knx 3.8 in order to do it. So at the moment in fact it is not possible to save changes ... .

When overloaded use

Boot OK on SATA.
For hyperthreading SMP use (like all 2.6.x kernels): knoppix acpi=off
And for a US keyboard: knoppix lang=us acpi=off
The '=' is "Shift 0".
If your USB mouse is not recognized: disconnect and reconnect
I guess the Kantonix like menu system that Fabian mentioned didn't make it into the 3.8 CeBIT version. Too bad, it seems like it would save new users a lot of problems (particularly since newer versions of Knoppix are much more agressive on booting).
Kanotix 2005-1 ( with kernel 2.6.10-kanotix-8 ) uses apm poweroff in most settings and will like Knoppix 3.8 ( with kernel 2.6.11 and acpi=off ) only recognize 1 of 2 CPUs on Intel SMP PCs.
There's a good article by Kyle Rankin (author of Knoppix Hacks): "Knoppix 3.8 and UnionFS. Wow. Just Wow."
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/6654
According to Rankin: "This also means that if you set up a persistent home directory, you can potentially back up all of these changes and restore them at boot. In fact, Knoppix 3.8 already has a modified persistent home script that does just this (although it's still a beta feature so expect to see bugs here and there). Knoppix can even detect when you have done this on a drive when it boots, and will let you choose what features to restore from this image (if any). If you let it time out, Knoppix does the safe thing and doesn't load any of the settings."
Thanks Chris, that's a great contribution. The torrent is very slow, though. I'm getting 1-10 kB/s; usually I get about 150 kB/s. So far I've downloaded 107 MB and uploaded 268 MB, with an estimated 32 hours to go.Originally Posted by chris-uk
If anyone out there has successfully downloaded this iso, how about starting up your bittorrent client again for uploading so others can download it?
Info on configuring your router for faster bittorrent downloading and uploading is at http://p2p.weblogsinc.com/entry/0401842428674831/
the knoppix qemu got mentioned on slashdot so the forum go slashdotted :O
nice work though chris
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=0...10216&from=rss
so alot more seeds to come along im still getting 2kbs though and im uploading 29kbs
Here's another download link, which for the moment has good speed. M

I'm confused.
I am running Windows XP SP2.
I dl'd the Knoppix-for-Win CD from the many torrents.
I insert the CD, it chugs for a bit....and then nothing.
I try to execute the qemu-knoppix and qemu-win .bat files, and
they just close the CMD prompt.
What am I doing wrong??
Thanks,
ers
