Knoppix Hard Disk Scripts
From Knoppix Documentation Wiki
In short, about the Knoppix Hard Disk Scripts:
To install knoppix on hard disk
- knx-hdinstall
- Copies the KNOPPIX like system (compressed filesystem) in the hard disk). See: Hd Based HowTo .
- Use with Knoppix 3.3 and earlier.
- knoppix-installer
- Installs a Debian like system (uncompressed filesystem) in the hard disk. See Install FAQ and Knoppix Installer .
- Use with Knoppix 3.4 and later.
KNOPPIX (compressed) is still a KNOPPIX (similar to the CD-ROM KNOPPIX). So, boot parameter "lang=en" should work
To just save your settings and files
- knoppix-mkimage
- Used to create a 'persistent home' image on a media, that allows you to save your files and settings without installing the whole system on the hard disk.
- Use the "knoppix home=scan" boot option to search for and use the stored image.
- You can choose to encrypt the image with 256-bit AES, which is generally considered secure, though not by all.
- Using Unionfs (A Stackable Unification File System) the writable modification branch is saved, in other words, the changes you make to the Knoppix filesystem.
