Need help with UnionFS

[rwcitek]

I need to overlay a touchscreen calibration file from my thumbdrive back into my /etc filestructure upon bootup so the touchscreen is calibrated correctly. UnionFS is the way to do this, yes?

I'm not quite clear on what you are trying to do, therefore I don't know if UnionFS will solve your problem. What do you mean by "overlay"? Do you mean "copy"? In other words, can you type this:

cp /path/to/thumbdrive/file /etc/

Also, what version of Knoppix are you using? Are you booting from the LiveCD or have you installed Knoppix to a HD?
