[Solved] Where to save my Documents :) [Stupid Question]
Hello,
I have a 20Go HDD, 4 parts.
-1 WINXP
-1 Knoppix
-1 Data (Common Linux/WinXP)
-1 SWAP
I was wondering where in the Knoppix Part should I save my personnal data?
The kind of "My Documents" folder?? (I don't want to look like a bill's friend...) I just do not want to copy stuff in the wrong place :P
thanks in advance

The usual place in Knoppix (linux in general) to save your documents is to your /home/user_name directory which is also usually on it's own partition seeing as you only have a / and a /swap partition that rules this out. You could of course try and shrink the / partition with QTParted which is included on the latest versions of knoppix and create space for a /home partition and use the Home Partition How To to create a real /home partition or re-install having created the needed /home partition before install and then moving it.
If these options seem unattractive to you then I would save your important data (from the knoppix install) to your common XP/Linux partition in the event you may want to re-install knoppix as all data on the / partition will be overwritten.
