Today I tried to store Knoppix image using the 2.6.9 kernel and it said /dev/hda1 was not mounted. I also found out that the k3b utility I was using to burn cd’s would hang when using the 2.6.9 kernel and not when using the 2.4.27 kernel It would be nice to run 2.6 but 2.4 works. So I have a 2.4 poor man’s install with a persistent home that works. K3B is clunky in 2.4.27 but it does work. I read that a new Knoppix version is coming out in a month so I am done. I played a litttle bit with Helix. It uses Knoppix 3.4 as its base and adds some forensic and disaster recovery software. Helix might be a useful tool to have in the bag.
