Persistent Home



Hello

I've used Knoppix 7.2 running from a USB stick (& SD Card) since it was released.

Yesterday I tried to boot the Knoppix stick from a friends computer (BIOS: USB-HDD, USB-ZIP etc) unsuccessfully.

While the computer was able to boot from the Live CD ... there was no prompt for persistent home even though there was an empty 16G USB stick connected, and I was subsequently able to copy files as well as create directories on it.

Next step was to use the "install Knoppix to flash" to this new USB stick - which apparently worked although the end result was still not bootable on the computer, as mentioned above. Nor was the flash install's knoppix-data.img used or recognised as a persistent home with the Live CD afterwards.


I've been using Knoppix in some capacity for about 14 years but have apparently missed some change or forgotten how to use Persistent Home since 7.2 :-/

Any ideas, tips?


Thank you,
Robert
