Q: How do I save my preferences (language, UI...) at the end of my session, when booting from CD? How do I restore them?

Go to the K-menu > KNOPPIX > Configuration and choose "save config", you can save to floppy or to an already existing partition on the harddrive. (on a windows partition s 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.

Thanks for your quick reply. I followed your instructions and it saved the settings on the floppy in the following files:

configs.tbz and knoppix.sh, but failed to mount on reboot. Here is the error on reboot:

" /dev/: ls a directory
mount failed, retry (Y/N) "

and retry does not work. Any ideas?

Thanks

I only joined the forum mainly to raise Knoppix and Mepis

Installed Mepis in place of another distro I liked it so much.

I can't wait to bring it up at the club at the appropiate time.

Thanks for the platform to say it.
