Installing Knoppix and keeping persistence settings?

[philo]

Whether it is an IMG file (<= 4GB) or an REISERFS partition, you must do a backup to save your settings. Only the method is different.

For the procedure with REISERFS, there is a nice script written by Werner Schulz. Just do a search in this forum.

For the IMG, just copy it elsewhere in your computer and bring it back later.

The option to preserve existing 'home' and (maybe) 'etc' folders while doing a new install does not seem to work well.
