4. Select No, to not have the directory selected as encrypted (if you choose Yes, you??™ll have
to specify a long password that you will need to access the persistent home directory at
boot time). You are asked to enter the size of your home directory.
5. Type the number of megabytes to assign to your home directory and click OK. Be sure
that that much space is available on the partition. (When the partition is mounted later,
you can type df -h to see how much space is available on it.) The partition or image file
should be created now.
When I ran this procedure to create a 100MB image on the hda5 partition, it created the file
/mnt/hda5/knoppix.img, which had 97MB of available space. To see how to use that directory,
see the section ???Restarting KNOPPIX??? later in this chapter.
Keeping Your KNOPPIX Configuration
After you have gone through all the work to configure your desktop, printer, network, disks, and
other preferences for your KNOPPIX setup, it??™s a shame to lose all that on your next reboot. Well,
KNOPPIX offers a way that you can save your configuration information and reuse it for your next
session. That saved information can be stored on a floppy disk or any other medium that is accessible
(such as your hard disk) the next time you reboot KNOPPIX.
