After you have gone through all the work to configure your desktop, printer, network, disks, and other preferences for your KNOPPIX setup, it's a shame to lose all that on your next reboot. Well, KNOPPIX offers a way that you can save your configuration information and reuse it for your next session. That saved information can be stored on a floppy disk or any other medium that is accessible (such as your hard disk) the next time you reboot KNOPPIX. Here's how:

1. From the squished penguin icon on the panel, click Configure Save KNOPPIX configuration.
2. Choose the configuration files to save. You can choose to save your personal configuration (from /home/knoppix.kde and .mozilla directories), files on the desktop, your network configuration, X configuration, and other system configuration files (from/etc).
3. Choose to save your configuration files to your floppy disk or to any available disk partition that is writable. Choosing floppy can make the configuration portable, whereas using the hard disk makes the configuration easily reusable on the same machine.
4. If you are saving to floppy, insert the floppy and click OK. The data is saved to floppy disk.

The results from this action are that the knoppix.sh and configs.tbz files are created on floppy disk. The configs.tbz file contains all the saved configuration files from your /home and /etc directories. The knoppix.sh file is a script that tells KNOPPIX how to install those files when KNOPPIX boots up. The next time you start KNOPPIX, you can use the configuration files, as described in the next section.

NOTE

Those who create their own customized KNOPPIX boot disks can simply add their knoppix.sh and config.tbz files to the top-level directory of the CD, so KNOPPIX will just boot to their personalized configuration without worrying about an extra floppy or other medium.
