KNOPPIX happily gives you a login name (knoppix) and a home directory (/home/knoppix),
each time you boot from KNOPPIX. You can save files to that directory, as well as change your
desktop and system configuration information (which is stored in that directory and in /etc files).
The problem is that those directories are in RAM, so they disappear when you reboot.
The following sections give you some ideas about how to save what you do in your KNOPPIX
session to use in future sessions.
Writing to Hard Disk
Although hard disk partitions are mounted read-only by default, you can make them read/write if
you like. Then you can store any data you want to save on those partitions. (You can simply drag
and drop files to those partitions when they are displayed in a Konqueror window, or save files
there from an application.)
Up to this point, there??™s not much risk of damaging any data on your hard disk. Once
you make your disks writable, you have the potential for deleting or changing that
data. Keep that in mind if the computer doesn??™t belong to you or if you are not used to using Linux.
Regardless of which user you are logged in as, KNOPPIX does not prevent you from changing any
file in a writable hard disk partition.
Mounting Linux Partitions for Writing
KNOPPIX usually identifies all hard disk partitions and adds entries for each one in your
/etc/fstab file.
