Difference betwen a Persistant disk image and knoppix config
What is the difference betwen the option of creating a Knoppix disk image and to Save conf. Despite saving configuration, is it used for anything else?
Also, does creating a disk image save only Klik, and some other files or the whole home folder? I'm confused mainly, because some of my files were saved just by selecting the Save configuration.
About the Disk image: How much space does it need on a Flash drive ( I have one with only 128 Mb), should I use the whole space or just part of it.
Thanks!

using saveconfig simply saves the current settings in your knoppix environment so that those settings can be recreated later, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the persistant disk image is what copies the whole operating system and the current enviroment settings to your hard drive, to do that on your thumbdrive, you would need a thumb drive with a greater than 2 gig capacity.

Actually, creating a persistant Knoppix image just creates an image on the hard drive of the /home
directory and saves system settings in that image file. The default size is 100MB. This saves your /home directory and everything in it, while saving the configuration just saves configuration settings (network,printer,desktop,etc). I know saving /home directory on a local hard drive will be automatically recognized on next boot. Using "knoppix tohd=/dev/hda2" as a cheat code while booting is what will copy the knoppix cd image to a partition like you are talking about. And that is what will take a lot of storage space, but not saving configuration or home directory.
