well, when I go thru the wizard it creates a knoppix.img file in my fat32 partition. maybe if I had unpartitioned space on my drive it would have asked if I wanted to create a partition for the PH.

So, having created the knoppix.img via the wizard, what is the next step? boot using "knoppix lang=us home=scan"?? I don't ever seem to type the right thing that makes Knoppix merge the read only CD DVD with my home, it always merges it with the ramdisk and knoppix boots as though I don't have a persistent home. what could I be doing wrong? my dev/hda is a 19 gig drive, with the first 18 gigs NTFS with WinXP. then I have about 1.2 gigs at the end which I made a fat32 partition and now has knoppix.img at 1.0 gig size. I don't know what I am doing differently than you such that I don't get the PH to merge with the CD.


I think I finally got it.
I remade the image, this time 900 mb. rebooted and did exactly what eco2geek put in his original post:
knoppix lang=us keyboard=us home=/mnt/hda2/knoppix.img
