360 Part III . Choosing and Installing a Linux Distribution can assign your KNOPPIX home directory (/home/knoppix) to use some of the available space on your hard drive. That can be done one of two ways: . Assigning an entire partition to be used for your home directory. . Assigning a part of that partition for your home directory, in the form of an image file. You can also put your persistent home directory on rewritable, removable media, such as a memory stick. Once you create that area to use as your home directory, you can tell KNOPPIX to use it every time you restart KNOPPIX. Here s what you do: 1. Click the squished penguin in the panel, and then select Configure.Create a Persistent KNOPPIX disk image. A window appears, asking if you are ready to create a persistent home directory. 2. Click Yes to continue. You are asked which partition you want to use for your persistent home directory. 3. Select the partition you want to use to store your persistent desktop and click OK. You are asked if you want to save the home directory in an encrypted format. 4. Select No, to not have the directory selected as encrypted (if you choose Yes, you ll have to specify a long password that you will need to access the persistent home directory at boot time). You are asked to enter the size of your home directory. 5. Type the number of megabytes to assign to your home directory and click OK. Be sure that that much space is available on the partition. (When the partition is mounted later, you can type df -h to see how much space is available on it.) The partition or image file should be created now. When I ran this procedure to create a 100MB image on the hda5 partition, it created the file /mnt/hda5/knoppix.img, which had 97MB of available space. To see how to use that directory, see the Restarting KNOPPIX section later in this chapter. Keeping Your KNOPPIX Configuration After you have gone through all the work to configure your desktop, printer, network, disks, and other preferences for your KNOPPIX setup, it s a shame to lose all that on your next reboot. Well, KNOPPIX offers a way that you can save your configuration information and reuse if for your next session. That saved information can be stored on a floppy disk or any other medium that is accessible (such as your hard disk) the next time you reboot KNOPPIX. Here s how: 1. From the squished penguin icon on the panel, click Configure.Save KNOPPIX configuration.
