I wish to use a local /mybin directory for various scripts.
What is the best way to do this?

On other machines I normally use /usr/local/bin which is empty in most distros or soft link /usr/local/bin to /home/bin. I have about a hundred scripts and other files there.

On Knoppix I cannot do this easily because /usr exists on the cdrom with lots of files. I also tried creating a /home/bin and put a few scripts in it, but next reboot they had disappeared even though I used the Knoppix/save function to a floppy. However files in /etc are saved and restored ok.

I'm using a floppy to save the configuration info now but later will use a Thumb drive. I don't want to use persistant home because it appears you have to copy the entire Knoppix cdrom to it. I just want to be able to use the Knoppix cdrom anythere and have a small floppy or Thumb to have my customized files there.

Thanks, Pelican
