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.
