You can all of it see within the folder '/mnt-system/' while running the flash disk install:
/mnt-system/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX the compressed filesystem
/mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data.img (..aes) your persistent memory and so on.
It's only a empty folder since some versions.
Thanks Werner. I'm having trouble deciding on a strategy for use and sizing of the thumbdrive's persistent image, since I don't know exactly how it works. I gather that I can't simply create a new, larger knoppix-data.img file, and copy all the contents of the old one to it Yesterday, I tried to install an application called Quantum GIS via Software Center. dpgk reported I would have to uninstall a number of installed programs to achieve this, and I agreed. However, the installation failed, and the popup that reported the failure makes very little sense to me. I saved the text, but after spending a good hour studying the requirements of reporting the bug to either the KDE or Quantum GIS, concluded that I lack both the skill and the time for this. The problem is that, although there was a cancel button onscreen with the popup, it's not clear that it was active. So now I'm wondering whether programs have been removed or replaced, and other programs will be crippled as a result. The issue seems to have been with Mysql core server, which dpkg wanted to replace with a newer version. But I can't see it listed among the installed programs. Is there a way to see whether any programs have been disabled? And if so, how can that be fixed? If I were to simply delete my existing knoppix-data.img file now, would my installation be crippled on reboot, or would I simply lose everything in the img file and be prompted to create a new one? BTW. is there a way I can use spacing in my posts? The forum preview function shows all formatting removed - not only spacing, but also quotes...
I replace NoScript with AdBlock Plus for this reason.
Then I compose in Leafpad and cut and paste with no loss of whitespace.
Hope that helps.
Thanks UTU. How do I access that option? All I see below is post icons and under "additional" options, disable smilies and automatically parse links in text.
Could it be that my posting permissions don't allow me this function?
Capricorny has another answer to this.
Both make the point that it's the browser and not the forum that's eating the whitespace.
Look under browser tools and add-ons. Klaus K like NoScript. I prefer AdBlock Plus.
Capricorny points out you can still use NoScript and let sites in one-by-one.
I like to compose off-line because the forum editor has a ten-minute cut-off for edits
once posted. I never see my typos until I post them anyway.
1) Congratulation to the Knoppix Dev-team and thanks to K.K. for sharing this great
distro...
2) On both, my Desktop (self-made, see hard_info) and a HP-Pavilion-g6 Laptop
(see hard info), the Live-DVD worked "out of the box".
No cheat-codes, no black screens on startup, no graphics module searching, no
kernel compiling, no fooling around with compiz settings, no wireless issue...
the list goes on...
3) The USB installation on a 8GB flash drive works flawless and astonishing fast on
both machines.
4) Minor issue - The Live DVD does not eject at reboot/shutdown.
5) When I try to make a USB install at the Laptop I get an error message:
(see screen image) and the installation does not finish.
6) My personal issue -
a) How can I get rid of the mirads of games (I do not play on
the computer - except maybe chess, solitaire or sudoku)
b) Same question for terminals, editors, calenders, burners, media player...
I only need one of these and the opportunity to install another if needed.
