Hi OErjan! Thanks, I'll work on that!

Question:

My knoppix has not been consistent in it's recognition of the pendrive. I always plug it in after boot because it locks up my mouse and keyboard if I plug it before boot. On some occasions after plug-in it appears on my Desktop, while at other times it is read into /mnt (without me entering it). It would seem to me that it needs to be on the Desktop in order for the "Persistent knoppix home directory" to be configured properly. Am I correct on this?? Do you know if the file system type has anything to do with this??

Other observations regarding this:

--If I unplug and re- plug the pendrive 2 or three times it will sometimes appear on the Desktop (I have not yet determined if it leaves /mnt when I do this).
--When the pendrive was formatted in fat16 it usually appeared on the Desktop. It's now fat32 and, unmanipulated, it will usually go to /mnt.

It seems to me that before I can properly configure this thing to save my settings, I need to establish a 'home' for it to go to in a consistent way.
Do you have any thoughts on this??
