Yes. If you boot from an image of Knoppix on your hard drive any changes you have made will revert back to what is on the cd when you reboot. Nothing will be saved. This is why you are needing to mount your drives each time by clicking the icons on your desktop. If you use the "df" command before clicking on the icons, you will see that your usb drives are not mounted (even though they will be listed in /etc/fstab). I you want things to stick you'll have to do an install on your hard drive.
