knoppix 7.4.2 persistence

[rspiteri]

@ superman ... thanks

That confirmed what I was thinking... it is quite disappointing though since if I remember correctly, Knoppix had that feature in earlier versions.

In my opinion, it was very useful since one would keep different overlays for specific system on the system itself and not carry every overlay on the usb and then switching names accordingly.

Is there another way to make a backup of all the changes (data, installed software, config) you made on a hard disk and then restore them back? I see there is a backup option in the menu but you have to specify which folders to backup and I am not sure whether it backs up all of UNIONFS

First of all, please write an explicit request to the Mod to delete your post from the old, very old, thread.
Your need is likely to be fulfilled in a Knoppix/Linux way. Rather than to change the system it is better that we find work arounds.
Now, please answer some queries:
Do all your users necessarily use grub in their MBR?
Also, the earlier queries for your users instead of your please.
