Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies. Hmm ...

When I said HD installation I meant the HD installation that folks mean when they post a question and tell us they have a HD installation in the hope that that means something. Now it seems that may be every HD installation is different.

I guess the one I meant was the one you get when you boot the CD with the LXDE desktop, go to the main menu, select preferences and then KNOPPIX HD install. I did not realise folks might mean something else these days.

When I answer a question on the forum, I know what happens with the LiveCD and LiveUSB but I really have no idea how it goes with the HD installation. Somewhere I read a HD drive installation was effectively Debian in disguise so I guessed there was no persistent store and no UNIONFS. I guess I guessed wrong.
