But it isn't for ntfs, in which you can only_read don't_write, and I guess this is the issue you have now.
I created an image with the utility on the knoppix dvd on a NTFS partition. I boot in knoppix and then i used 'Create a persistent image'.. i select the partition, it formats the image it says it is ok. Then i set up my network card for example, and then restart computer.
I reboot in knoppix, it finds the virtual image and i am prompted for the open mode of the image.. select all, click ok and then it loads knoppix. Unfortunately, the settings are not loaded so i have to set up again everything (like the network card). Plus, every time i restart in windows after i used the image, it runs check disk at startup. Is it normal?
so.. how can i make that image work and save the settings (saving on floppy doesn't help me, i don't have floppy disk drive, nor usb)
PS: Is it true that you can write on fat32 drives? (Mount them, change permissions to write and done)
Thanks in advance,
Pepene.

so.. i reformated my hard disk and now i have an ext2 partition, i mount it in knoppix, everything ok.
i can even save my cfg files to it and then at boot prompt it works with knoppix myconfig=scan.
BUT, i tried to make a persistent home into the newly partition, it works just fine, it says it's done and i should restart my pc. I restart it and at the boot prompy knoppix home=scan and nothing found. I also tried with knoppix home=/mnt/hda6 but sill nothing found. Also, in knoppix the image exists on the drive.
Another problem comes when i try to write something to the disk.. it's acces denied (yes, i turned off read-only so it is writable and i set read & write permissions to everybody). I downloaded firefox for example, saved in the temp folder (ramdisk probably) and then i tried to copy it to /mnt/hda6 but it won't let me. So that's why i wanted to create the home on that drive so i can write in tmp folder on my local disk..
Any help regarding writing the disk or the persistent home is very appreciated. THANKS, pepene.
i reformated my hd to fat32 and now it works just fine everything :>
one last question though.. having a virtual image saves automatically every setting i do? and if yes, saving the configuration and loading it with knoppix myconfig=scan becomes unnecesary or should i use it?
