I did install knoppix 7.2 on a flashdrive Werner, and made an additional partition persistent. But its the ip6tables entry that doesn't stay when I change to secure mode with cheatcodes. I put an update.zip file with the ip6tables firewall in KNOPPIX-DATA but it never installed during init. I wish there was someway to get secure mode after everything was setup, and just before going online? Or better still, being able to wholly control root with a fail-safe password system.

Is it best to use the secure mode online Werner? All 65534 ports are filtered, one is up, and I don't think there's any services running. But even in secure mode, I'm having a very difficult time with hackers here Werner. So I'm profoundly grateful for your help, and for the Knoppix program. It's kept me running the best so far, in what has been a major struggle.

Thanks Werner.
