Saving system configuration

If you configure the network adaptor or internet log in options just the way you like it, you probably feel it is cumbersome that Knoppix restores all settings to ``faculty defaults'' every time you boot your computer with it.

Fortunately, Knoppix has a utility to save the configurations. Click on the penguin icon (to the right of the ``K'' icon), then selection ``Configure'', then select ``Save KNOPPIX configuration''.

You should then see a dialog box, click ``OK''.

Next, select a partition. Be sure that the selected partition is a FAT partition.

Once your configuration is saved, you can use the following option in the boot screen to reload the configurations:

knoppix myconfig=/dev/hdb5

In this example, I used partition /dev/hdb5 to save the configurations.
