hello:

i am having difficulty creating a persistent store using knoppix 3.8.1. with either a 7gb fat partion (which is seen by knoppix) or a usb pen flash drive the issue is consistent. when i attempt to create the store i-

* choose not to use encryption (although i have tried this and the result is consistent)
* choose a store size (which i have tried either all available or less than the total available)

knoppix then begins the store creation process but freezes @96%. it never completes the store creation and the window must be closed manually. the store does not function properly after that.

i have tried this process with serveral disc instances of knoppix 3.8.1 and believe it is not related to media/iso issues.

any help that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance,
js
