boot: knoppix home=/dev/sda1/knoppix.img
boot: knoppix home=scan
The previous boot commands, respectively, assign the KNOPPIX home directory
(/home/knoppix) to the /dev/hda1/knoppix.img file, to the /dev/sda1/knoppix
.img file, or to the image file found by scanning all available directories for that file. You
can also combine one from each of the two preceding command sets to both read your
configuration files and assign a persistent desktop, as follows:
boot: knoppix floppyconfig home=/dev/hda1/knoppix.img
Now you are ready to continue your KNOPPIX session where you left off last time, with the same
configuration and data files available.

Choosing and Installing a Linux Distribution Part III
Summary
KNOPPIX offers what many feel is the best bootable Linux today. It gives you a fully configured
Linux desktop system available virtually anywhere you can find a bootable PC.
Besides its desktop features, KNOPPIX contains software needed to use many server, programming,
and troubleshooting features of Linux as well. Despite the fact that KNOPPIX runs as a
bootable system in RAM, by default, there are ways to configure it to save data and configuration
information across multiple boot sessions.
The fact that KNOPPIX can be used to come up to a consistent state every time you boot it is
another advantage to using KNOPPIX.
