First you have to set up the scsi drive: (as root of course)

o ' fdisk /dev/sda '
' p ' == List partition table
' n ' == New partition
' e ' == Extended
' 1 ' == Partition 1
( Enter 2x to accept the defaults, use entire drive for 1 partition )

' n '
' L ' (lowercase l) == Logical
( Enter 2x to accept the defaults )
' t ' == Change partition type
' 5 ' == Change 1st logical partition in Extended
' b ' == Win95 FAT32

' p ' == List partition tbl again
' w ' == Write changes to disk and quit

o Format it:
' mkdosfs -F 32 -v /dev/sda5 '

' mkdir /mnt/tmp '
' mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/tmp -onoatime '

--At this point, you should be able to save stuff.

If using vmware 5, yes - I think so. You should be able to create a virtual disk and mount it via usb. But that shouldn't be necessary; just create a SCSI disk and Knoppix should recognize it. (You might have to format it though.)

I am also a newbie to Knoppix and am running it via VMware to learn Linux, since I am desparately trying to become a Linux user.

How can I save my settings in vmware? Can I somehow simulate a USB disk or some sort?

Thank you for your post.
Yes, I am running Vmware 5.

I try the Save Setting option, but it says it can't do it. How do I set up a hard drive partition on the virtual drive for this?
