Saving Configuration Settings to a CD
Now that I've learned how to save my configurations to a floppy disc (see previous postings), I have another problem. I have another, newer computer that doesn't have a floppy drive. I'll have to burn the configuration files to a CD or DVD and then be able to read them back. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions

You likely don't. At a minimum it would require 2 CD/DVD drives, since one will be containing the Knoppix CD at the point the configuration files are needed. And you would have to reburn a disc whenever you changed the configuration (hope you use CR/RW). Far better would be to use a small inexpensive USB flash drive. Or, if you have an old IDE drive lying around (or want to buy a small cheap drive), add it to the computer as a second drive and put a FAT partition on it.

CD Drives
Harry,
Thanks for your comments. In fact, I do have two drives. One is a CD/DVD-RW and the other is a CD-ROM drive (I hope I've used the correct terminology here.) Anyway, I can read a CD from both drives and burn to one.
Nevertheless, I'll look into the USB flash drive.

I save my configuration settings to my hard driver, hda2. It only involves a couple of files and it's very convenient. When I reboot I type:
knoppix myconfig=scan
When I want to preserve those settings to a cdrom I use k3b to do the job .
