Thanks for getting back to us & letting us know how it went.
I am glad that I can help.

Try to add the following to the /etc/skel/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig file of the remastered distro just before starting kdm:
cp -rp /KNOPPIX/var/lib/mysql /var/lib
I am not expert in mysql so I do not know what permissions you should also add to the above. Try it, it should work.
The -p option to the cp command preserves the permissions and should be all that is needed. Thanks for the information about the
/etc/skel/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig file.
One question which underscore may be able to help with regarding Knoppix 3.8, which I haven't tried yet. Does the unionfs system mean that a LAMP server
running under Knoppix 3.8 will not need any special commands to enable users to modify data? Will it just mean starting Apache and MySQL and away you go?
Thanks.

As far as I can tell, you do not need to modify anything. Now I have NOT done any testing in regards to 3.8 & LAMP but with 3.8 it should be "start & away you go". This is because UnionFS transparently mounts a portion of the systems's RAM (/ramdisk) on top of / (root of the knoppix CD filesystem). This enables the user to do things that were practically impossible such as using apt-get to update the apt DB and install software. And note that apt-get stores the downloaded .deb archive files in /var/cache/apt/archive.
So yes, 3.8 should make LAMP and/or other scenarios that need to write to /var very easy.
I hope this helps.
