[Newb Warning] Persistence with Knoppix 6.0.1

[rev_dav]

For what it's worth, I just booted 6.0.1 CD, with a USB thumb drive already mounted, and did not get a prompt to specify allocated space for persistence. Is there a boot code I have to enter first? No one has mentioned this explicitly.

Hi there.
You need to run 6.0.1 from the CD, then use the option to Save to Flashdrive.
Remove the CD and run from the thumb drive. As the system starts it will ask you if you want a Persistent Image. IMHO, ordinary users will find 200 MB to be enough but geeks will require more than 500 MB!
Best wishes,
David
