    Basic Linux Question and how it works in Knoppix?

    Please keep in mind that I am fairly new to Knoppix (linux in general knowledge of two weeks).

    Question #1: In Windows, most program are stored in C:\Program Files\DIRECTORY of APP (applications that follows standards). WHAT is the equivalent for Knoppix and Linux in general?

    Question #2:

    (A) Is there any way I can maintain the apps I install in Knoppix to be available everytime I reboot with CD without having to reinstall?

    (B) Basically, can my application that I install always be available using persistent home?

    (C) Do I have to manually to tell it to save to a certain location?

    (D) Where is that location (examples if possible please).

    Brief and comprehensive responses welcome...not too brief though that I say - HUHHHHH???

    Thank you everyone for your support and patience...I am almost free from XP.

    open a command prompt type this:

    mc <enter>
    This is the midnight commander - it is your friend-it works from the command line OR a terminal window-it is included in many Linux distros. It is very easy to use. Learn it- it just takes some playing with and you'll get it. It can display different sorts of files in different colors. The executable programs are not necessarily listed with a name that explains their function. But to answer your question - many are stored in /bin & /usr/bin.

    Not sure exactly what you are asking here but you can install Knopppix to a hard drive

    you can save customizations for the live cd on a floppy

    you can create your own custom cd with whatever you want more or less.

    As for the rest of your questions - go read the documentation on the knoppix website. It's all there just search.
