    persistence on usb key

    Hello

    I've installed last release of Knoppix on a USB key and it works fine, EXCEPT one thing :

    Persistence is not working (and maybe not existing)

    2 times, at the startup, I've seen some menus appearing on the screen for 5 seconds and dissapear and it seems I've seen about persistence setting (not sure..)

    Anyway I'm now unable to find any menu or setting for persistence on usb key

    Thanks for your help

    Dom

    Hello Werner

    at least I think I'e found what happened..

    Ive created the usb key using linux usb creator..

    Then, from the pc started with this key, I have launched the knoppix program wich allow to install on a flash disk.

    I have inserted another usb key and at the end, the process ask you the size of persistence you want on your key.

    I have to check now but I'm sure it works

    Thanks again and if this can help another user...

    Dominique

    At present there is an error within the Wiki and you cannot read what I've changed at Hard drive installation. New version: ........

    --------------------

    In the meantime the problem with the Wiki has been solved; therefore I've deleted the remaining of my posting at this position.

    interesting! I'd like to install Knoppix on a netbook that has 2 small flashdisks on the mother: sda1 (4 Gb) and sdc1 (8 Gb). How is it possible to install the Knoppix (DVD version if possible) on sda1 (should be Fat32?) and an AES file on sdc1? everything was really easier with Knoppix 5... thanks if you have an idea...

    Oops missing part: at least, how to install the OS (DVD version) on sdc1 and the AES data on sda1?

    You can do a "HD install" (not "Flash disk Install to HD") to sdc1, mount '/home/' on '/dev/sda1' and encrypt '/home/knoppix/'.

    With
    "Flash disk install" you can only use partitions on the same device.

    I'll try that, thanks!

    hmm... I used the 'Knoppix HD install' in the 'KNOPPIX' menu, but never I was asked to create the encrypted persistent file how can I do that? I was a Knoppix5 user, everything was automatic... I am lost this time! Something is missing in the Wiki for beginners with Knoppix7 ? PS I have a free sda1 (FAT32) while the OS is on sdb2, but why do I need to do mount /dev/sdb2 /media/sdb2 manualy after each reboot? PPS I don't find the help file of the HD installer.
