3. Mark a package for installation. With the package that you want to install highlighted, select Package Mark for Installation. If any changes to existing packages or additional packages are needed, a pop-up window alerts you. Click Mark to continue.

Remember that the software is being installed in the version of KNOPPIX that is running in RAM. So, the software will disappear the next time you reboot, unless you do something to preserve your data (such as creating a persistent desktop before you install the software you want to keep).

Saving Files in KNOPPIX
When you reboot your computer with KNOPPIX, you lose not only KNOPPIX itself but any data and configuration information you may have created along the way. That's because, by default, KNOPPIX runs from your system's RAM and a nonwritable CD or DVD. Using tools and procedures that come with KNOPPIX, there are ways in which you can keep that information going forward.
KNOPPIX happily gives you a login name (knoppix) and a home directory (/home/knoppix), each time you boot from KNOPPIX. You can save files to that directory, as well as change your desktop and system configuration information (which is stored in that directory and in /etc files).

The problem is that those directories are in RAM, so they disappear when you reboot. The following sections give you some ideas about how to save what you do in your KNOPPIX session to use in future sessions.

Writing to Hard Disk
Although hard disk partitions are mounted read-only by default, you can make them read/write if you like. Then you can store any data you want to save on those partitions. (You can simply drag and drop files to those partitions when they are displayed in a Konqueror window, or save files there from an application.)
