In the example I described, the persistent memory is only on partition #2.
I don't know, if it is possible to boot more then one KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX on different partitions with syslinux. Syslinux offers an multiboot option with "mboot.32", but I never tried it.

Hello, again, Werner.
Partition #2 in your example is only 1 GB to start with.
KNOPPIX will use at least 700Mb of that.
This leaves precious little for persistence in partition #2, anyway.
I would have thought the proportions would be the other way around
1 Gb in #1 and 3 Gb in #2 if #2 also get the persistence file.
Am I missing something here?
ps.. I liked your screen shot of the missing LXDE menu.
It looks like Halloween came early in Dietzenbach.

It is only an example. Each user can create the partitions as he like. And for rescue purpose I think it is better to have as much free space on a USB stick or an USB drive as possible to store stuff like "Documents" from a violated OS.

After "Prepare remaster environment", I see:
Edit all items of 'lang= ' and 'tz= ' as you need within
the file '/opt/knx/knoppix/boot/isolinux/knoppix.menu'!
While trying to follow the advice, I noticed the following in knoppix.menu:
If my keyboard is more of the US-persuasion, is there a recommended course of action?
-
I went ahead and removed the KBDMAP line and so far haven't noticed any ill effects.
On a separate note, for some reason, /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig didn't appear in its appropriate location under the remaster directory. When I booted the resulting ISO, I noticed a message about not finding knoppix-autoconfig and neither the keyboard nor the pointing device appeared to work (at least, not under X).
Subsequently, I manually copied knoppix-autoconfig to /opt/knx/remaster/etc/init.d/ and rebuilt the ISO, and the result appears to behave much better.
I thought I had just followed the instructions at the "Summary: Own Rescue-CD with Knoppix" page -- using VirtualBox, checking the KNOPPIX CD checksum, etc.). Is there any information I might provide to try to understand what might have gone awry?

If you have a non-German version of Knoppix look at '/usr/share/kn-knoppix/save/isolinux.cfg' which item to use for "KBDMAP". Please tell me what you found there.
Greetings Werner

Thanks for your response and help.
I am using a non-German version of Knoppix (EN). Searching for KBDMAP within /usr/share/kn-knoppix/save/isolinux.cfg yielded one line:
Code:
# KBDMAP german.kbd
When attempting to edit an entry in the boot menu, I noticed that slash "/" was not where I expected it so I created a file named us.kbd via the keytab-lilo.pl script that comes with lilo. I replaced the german.kbd file with the resulting us.kbd and placed the following line in the .cfg file:
This seemed to produce more familiar behavior.
