v7.2 only partitial persistence on USB
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/knoppix-flash-en.html unless I'm reading it
wrong creates a chicken & egg problem: needing to boot Knoppix first in order
to install it to USB. I couldn't find instructions to install to USB stick
formatted native and specific to Knoppix, so I used unetbootin to burn the
v7.2 DVD iso to an 8G stick partitioned as one primary and formatted EXT4. On
first boot I typed in 400 when asked for a permanant storage size. That got
me /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data.img 409600K apparently aliased to
/KNOPPIX-DATA/ on boot via /dev/loop0. I put a bunch of stuff in /usr/local,
so I know that is working. But, running mc and saving settings on any of the
vttys isn't surviving reboot. I went looking through the menu starter in X,
cheatcodes, knopper.net and elsewhere because I thought there was some other
cmdline parameter required for persistence I've used in the past, but now
it's proving elusive. What is it I'm not remembering or finding?
