Hi Alan,

I bought a 512MB sony microvault yesterday and did a persistent home with it. When I boot I use the cheatcode home=/mnt/uba1/knoppix.img and
everything loads fine. However it does seem to hang the system sometimes I think it's due to newer settings being written to it. I'm going to
experiment a bit more with the laptop and also with a Dell desktop at work this week. I also have a config saved to the USB.

I deleted the knoppix.img and started with myconfig=/dev/uba1 and knoppix started fine with my settings and so far hasn't hung up!
