IIRC, when I did save configuration, it saved my settings including the network stuff for my wireless card. Saving to persistant home didn't save the network stuff but everything else, including downloads and documents missed in save configuration. FWIW, I used both, first saving to home and then save config, and then when I booted up the cd, I'd type:
Code:
knoppix myconfig=scan and home=scan dma idebus=66 noeject
. That got me optimal settings and all my docs and network stuff. I did try one without the other and something was always missing.

HTH,
