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.
