Re: Persistent Home

Hi Andrew

Ah ... so it's back to manually specifying the path while using the CD!
BTW Persistent home is working in the USB install - it just wouldn't boot the BIOS on that particular computer.
As there is no emergency ... just a friend who is curious about trying a live OS ... I'll lend him my Netbook to use with a Knoppix USB stick. 

Thank you for your help :-).

Robert,

You have to specify the home path by mount point. For example:

Home=/dev/sda1/

This is true for the live cd. I can't quite say what the steps are needed for a USB install.

Hope this helped,

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
