Hi

I have just installed knoppix 5.1.1 on my USB pendrive (based on an article at www.tuxmachines.org), everything boots fine but i have some weirdness:


NB - during thr boot process i let it do everything itsled so didn't change (i thinK0 anything on the persistent home dir stuff where there was 4 options - how many of thesehome/systtem/overwrite/init should be ticked??

NNB - i am pretty new to linux so please be gentle

Anyway - here goes

1) Its dual boot system with several hard drives and if i click on the HDD icons on the desktop and try and unmount them i get a message that says Could not unmount - it seems /cdrom is mounted multiple times (if i click on them it seems to think the CDis mounted there as i only see the files on the CD and not whats actually on the hard drive). However if i open Konquerer i see all the hard drives and can access my windows data.

2) Anything i do is not saved e.g. documents, clock settings etc - i am pretty sure i must have done something wrong with the persistent disk image set up. The second partition on my pendrive just has the .img file on it - if i save stuff to this file does it become part of the image? I can copy files into the partition though it says the device is read only.

many thanks
