"Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions"

Here??™s how:
1. From the squished penguin icon on the panel, click Configure???Save KNOPPIX
configuration.
2. Choose the configuration files to save. You can choose to save your personal configuration
(from /home/knoppix.kde and .mozilla directories), files on the desktop,
your network configuration, X configuration, and other system configuration files
(from /etc).
3. Choose to save your configuration files to your floppy disk or to any available disk partition
that is writable. Choosing floppy can make the configuration portable, whereas using
the hard disk makes the configuration easily reusable on the same machine.
4. If you are saving to floppy, insert the floppy and click OK. The data is saved to
floppy disk.
The results from this action are that the knoppix.sh and configs.tbz files are created on
floppy disk. The configs.tbz file contains all the saved configuration files from your /home
and /etc directories. The knoppix.sh file is a script that tells KNOPPIX how to install those files
when KNOPPIX boots up. The next time you start KNOPPIX, you can use the configuration files,
as described in the next section.
Those who create their own customized KNOPPIX boot disks can simply add their
knoppix.sh and config.tbz files to the top-level directory of the CD, so KNOPPIX
will just boot to their personalized configuration without worrying about an extra floppy or other
medium.
