Hi,
I'm new to Linux and not ready to install I on my HD yet, so I'm just playing around with Knoppix.
Using Knoppix 3.7 Live CD on my Laptop.
I noticed that my settings do not get saved, and on the next bootup, I have to reconfigure my system.
How do I save my settings?
Thanks.

I am more concerned with restoring my settings, saved to floppy. Enterinf 'knoppix myconfig=scan' at the prompt wouldn't do it for me. How does knoppix locate the floppy?![]()
