Knoppix is the only distro that...

It would be cool if it could run from USB and be no different then if it were running from hard drive.

What are you missing?

Hi utu,

Let me start by saying I'm no Linux expert so it's a good chance I don't know what I'm talking about.

With the other Linux distros (that didn't quite work out) I've had to specify all the different partitions. One for root "/", one for home "/home" and a swap partition. I'm assuming root is the only place additional software is installed and home is where my files go. The Knoppix USB persistent install is all on one partition with a max of 4 gig persistent space.

I may just be noticing the difference and assuming the other partitions are needed.

Having said all that, what I really would like to do is allocate the remaining space on my USB flash drive for persistent memory. I have a 16 gig flash drive and the highest I can allow for a persistent file is 4 gigs. I say this with the assumption that additional software is installed in the persistent area.

Thanks you for your time!
