Knopix 5.0.1: Customising
Each time I boot up the Knoppix 'Live CD' (for backup purposes) I have to
customise various things (keyboard layout (UK), Date format, etc.) and I
am wondering if there is a way to preserve these selections (on my
external backup drive, for example) and for Knoppix to pick them up when
it boots.
Is there such a facility in there somewhere?

Hello Maurice, what you need to look at is having a persistent boot
image. This will save a small image of your session and allow it to be
referenced next time you boot. This can be saved to your HD,thumb drive
or if I remember correctly even a CF card. Very handy.
