Hey again.

This is a idea what a friend of mine asked me about. Would it be possible to save the Knoppix configuration to the internet, and when booting, load it again from there, you just specify a url or a ftp addr.

I am sorry if this has been covered before, but, still, I didn't find much about it in a quick search.

So, basically, when you boot, you type something like:
"knoppix conf=ftp://user[email protected]/knoppixconf/"
you may add the other usual tags to the end aswell, such as "desktop=kde wheelmouse" and so on.

Why?
Because, I don't know about the rest of you. But we use Knoppix in our school, because all computers have keyloggers in Windows, what are installed by other mean students. So we use Knoppix to avoid our precious data get out. But, since mostly we use computer during our break times, what last for 15-20min, we don't have much time to configure it all. So, if we could save the data to a website, then it would be faster to load it all up again. Also, we have pretty good internet connections in our school. And today, many people have acess to a webserver of a ftp server

Wouldn't it be cool if you could do the following. Boot, then change your keyboard layout, then change the way KDE looks and save some documents, then exit Knoppix and it will save the data to a ftp or web server. Then, when you reboot, you will just type the url of it, and knoppix will download the data and you will continue your work.

This would most likely be a major addition to Knoppix.

The reasons I can think it can't be possible are, that the config is loaded before internet connection is established, I am not so sure about it anyway.

So yeah, what do you think of my idea?
