Hello,
I found out about knoppix this morning. What I'm looking for is an OS that can be booted from a CD
and allows for saving files and configuration files/profiles for various programs, i.e. Open Office, Opera, Firefox,
Thunderbird and some as yet unfound newsreader that works on both linux and windows, on a
usb key drive. My desire is to have a transportable OS and R/W storage setup that will work on
a couple different windows based machines so when I visit away from my machine I can still enjoy
my basic setup. Assuming that the away machines have no issues with booting knoppix, the unknown
at the moment is will knoppix programs, i.e. firefox, work with a profile on a keydrive? I've done
some searches and read the faq. I'm interested in workability of specific programs,
Open Office
Firefox
Thunderbird
Opera
using an usb key drive to store data/profiles/documents/etc and migrating between machines that otherwise
have no issues with knoppix. Thanks,
