KDE Panel??”KNOPPIX loads the KDE Panel with applets and launchers for a few useful
applications. Click the K button to display the menu containing most KDE applications
for you to select. The Web Browser icon launches the Konqueror browser, which is the
KDE file manager as well.

KNOPPIX configuration??”Click the squished penguin icon in the KDE Panel to see a
menu of configuration tools specific to KNOPPIX. This is where you can tune up your TV
card, configure printers, get your network connection going, and even start a few servers.
I describe some of these subjects??”in particular, how to save data and configuration
information across sessions with this otherwise ethereal operating system??”later in this
chapter.
Launching games, players, and other stuff??”From the KDE menu, you can launch
applications as you would from any desktop operating system.
Running KNOPPIX, at this point, is just like running any other Linux system with a KDE desktop,
with one major exception. By default, you can??™t save any data permanently. There are a few ways
around this issue, especially if you expect to use KNOPPIX on a regular basis. Refer to the sections
on creating persistent desktops and opening disks for writing later in this chapter.
