Save Myconfig Outside KDE
Hi -- This is probably simple, but I haven't found the trick yet. I want my saved Knoppix configuration (configs.tbz and knoppix.sh on a USB drive) to remember that I want IceWM, not KDE, as my default window manager. However, the only way I know to save/resave my configuration is via the KDE menu (Knoppix --> Save My Configuration).
Is there a shell command that I could invoke during an IceWM session that would do the same thing?
Is there also a shell command for creating a Persistent Home file?
Thanks for all help!

I set up a persistent home with kde, then boot with the cheatcode desktop=wmaker, then the changes I make in windomaker stick without having to save the configuration in windomaker. Maybe it will work that way for icewm too. You have to boot with the cheatcode: desktop=icewm

Hi umamiccia,
To see what the KDE Meun really does look at the following:
K --> Settings --> Menu Editor --> +KNOPPIX -->
+configure --> Save KNOPPIX configureation
In the Command box you will see
/usr/sbin/saveconfig
Is is this the command you are looking for?
Find the persistent home command in the same way.
Do these commands work from other desktop managers?
Best Wishes

Well, I feel a bit lazy and stupid. Thanks, L2Cache and paradocs, for guiding me straight.
In case it helps someone else:
The console command for saving your configuration is "saveconfig", and the console command for making a persistent home is "mkpersistenthome".
Note also that, at Knoppix boot, your existing saved configuration trumps your boottime cheatcode. If you already have a configuration saved via the KDE menu shortcut, typing "desktop=icewm" won't get you to icewm. Delete the existing configs.tbz and knoppix.sh and start again; save your preferred window manager in a console session with "saveconfig".
Thanks again for the help!
