New to Knoppix, need persistant disk image
I have a 5gig hard drive (hoping for an upgrade soon) and want to use a persistant disk image of knoppix on it. Is this possible with NTFS formatting? I currently have win98 on there and don't want to mess anything up/delete/reformat/partition.
Old-ish computer. Can't boot from USB.

NTFS came in with Windows 2000. Are you sure it's not a FAT partition? You could store a persistent image on a FAT partition, but not NTFS, not safely at least.
Also, what version of knoppix are you using? I found no way of saving a persistent image with knoppix 6 CD version.

If you find out how to do that it would be fine, but if not, try Puppy linux. It's like 100MB, then it copies itself to your hd (if you want) and every time you use it it saves (if you like) a persistent kind of file so you have all changes saved. Then it'll boot super fast next time. You'll have a nice Linux to play around and don't have to bother with partitioning you're small hd.

EDIT: that kind of install in called 'frugal install'. Oh, I read that 4.2 version i buggy so you may want 4.1.2 or this version here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=40852
