Check the BIOS, how to boot from USB-stick; perhaps you have not the ability, to boot from USB. After boot from USB-stick Knoppix offers for about 7 seconds the option to establish persistent memory; if necessary reboot and try again.

I'm quite familiar with both Linux and my own computers. I am only new to running from a USB key. The computer isn't booting from the DVD because the DVD player has been unplugged from the netbook.

So, when I boot via the USB key, I am presented with no screen offering the option to configure persistent memory and that is the reason that I ask if there is something that I'm supposed to do when booting. Is there a button I'm supposed to press? It is not happening automatically; hence the question. I've tried a couple different USB keys and even an MMC and none of them boot with the persistent memory option screen.
