img Identify the location of an image file that should be
mounted and used as the /home directory during your
KNOPPIX session. For example, using the file /mnt/hda1/
knoppix.img gets an image file (knoppix.img) from
the top-level directory of the first partition of the first
IDE drive.
knoppix home-scan Search available drives for a home directory image.
knoppix mem=???M Make the specified amount of memory available to
KNOPPIX (for example, 128M).
knoppix toram Copy the contents of the CD to RAM and run it from there.
(For a live CD, you should have at least 1GB of RAM
available to use toram.)
