Please read again the link I told you in posting #8, especially about the difference between "HD install" and "Flash disk Install to HD".

Thanks! The trouble is that I don't know how to encrypt home/knoppix, I know how to do a container but I don't know how to "link" it to home/knoppix, either where I have to store this AES container PS I had a trouble in etc/fstab, sdc2 wanted to mount on /, I don't know why ! I fixed that, but sdc2 still doesn't appear anywhere at boot up, I still have to mount it by a command line.

(my goal is to mount the AES container at boot up if possible, otherwise I would try the poor persistent way I described in the tips section of this forum)

I used the 'Knoppix HD install' in the 'KNOPPIX' menu, but never I was asked to create the encrypted persistent file
With "HD install" you'll get a Debian like installation without persistent memory. And starting with the HD install option of Knoppix you can also see the point "Help". To start your HD installation you need an entry for it within a bootmanager like Grub.

Thanks again! I found a known way to have a persistent memory, I post about it in a new thread if it can help someone else

You may use, for example, /etc/rc.local for mounting more volumes

If you create an unencrypted persistent store, you can modify (e.g.) /etc/rc.local to create a special directory and mount an AES-container there at booting. It does not have to be on the same media as KNOPPIX. The simplest way of encryption is of course to have the ordinary persistent store encrypted, but you don't have to restrict yourself to that - you just have to create a persistent store, then you can do all sorts of things at booting time, including variations on your "poor persistence" theme.
Personally, I would be a bit careful to do too many "hard-coded" tweaks on /home and other directories, as I have run into some problems upon remastering. But modifications like mounting an ecrypted volume in a /home/knoppix/ subdirectory ought to be quite OK.
