My question is simple. How do I save things like favorites for Mozill and programs etc. If I am booting from a Live CD everytime. It seems to me that I'll have to start from scratch everytime. I know I must be wrong. Please help me wrap my head around it...

(on a windows partition is fine) To restore it, at the "boot:" prompt type in "knoppix myconfig=scan", and it should find and restore your saved settings at boot time. you can find this specific FAQ at: http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Using_FAQ EDIT: I find a small USB key works very well, since you can carry it around and have the same settings on different machines Last edited by psic; 02-02-2006 at 10:46 PM..

From the cd, you have access to tools like qtparted. __________________ Go RedWings How to know if you are a geek. when you respond to "get a life!" with "what's the URL?" - Birger New users read The FAQ

You've been given the exact terminology by fogcat. Open a console window and type this:

Code:

su <enter key>
knoppix-installer <enter key>

That should pop up a window for you.
