Need help with saving configurations

[duckegg12]

I think youve been looking at the tips for an older version. First, you have to have a writable medium - usually a flash drive/sdcard these days, though I like my hard drive pseudo-installs. Try clicking Preferences-Install Knoppix to flash disk and then boot from that medium; you'll be prompted to create a "persistent image", which will do what you want.

The Knoppix documentation Wiki clearly says you can run a Live-cd and make changes persitent by saving all changes to a HDD or FlashDrive. This can't be achieved by the 'Install to HDD or FlashDrive' stated to be a solution above.

I want to use a live -cd with persistence on a HDD or F-drive as a teaching mechanism people can use in class, and then on their home computers. But 'saveconfig' cant be run as the Wiki says - 'from the command line'. It's not a recognised command in the boot command-line, the text-install command-line, the terminal command-line, or even the 'run-box'!!

Furthermore there is no 'save configuration' option in the LXDE desktop Menu, and I can't install KDE which allegedly does have a 'save configuration' option in the desktop Menu - because the 'desktop=kde' cheat code also doesn't work in the boot command line.

The knoppix documentation and commentary makes much of the 'live -cd with persistence on a HDD or F-drive'-abilty of Knoppix. It seems like a hollow promise.

( BTW, It doesn't seem to work on Ubunrtu Lucid or Debian 6.5 either, which is why I turned to Knoppix.)
