Chapter 11 . Running KNOPPIX 347 Now you should be able to access the NTFS partition from the /mnt/captive- LABEL_C directory. Creating a Persistent Home Directory If you are going to use the computer more than once with KNOPPIX (or if you just want more storage space for files than your computer has available in RAM) you can assign your KNOPPIX home directory (/home/knoppix) to use some of the available space on your hard drive. That can be done by either: . Assigning an entire partition to be used for your home directory. . Assigning a part of that partition for your home directory, in the form of an image file. You can also put your persistent home directory on rewritable, removable media, such as a memory stick. Once you create that area to use as your home directory, you can tell KNOPPIX to use it every time you restart KNOPPIX. Here s what you do: 1. Click the squished penguin in the panel, and then select Configure.Create a Persistent KNOPPIX Home Directory. A window appears, asking if you are ready to create a persistent home directory. 2. Click Yes to continue. You are asked which partition you want to use for your persistent home directory. 3. Select the partition you want from the list and click OK. You are asked if you want to use the entire partition and format it as a Linux file system or just create an image. 4. Don t click Yes unless you are prepared to erase an entire partition! Click No (the safer route) to just add an image file on a directory where you have space. If you are creating the image file, you are asked how big to make it. 5. Type the number of megabytes to assign to your home directory. 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.) You are asked if you want to save the home directory in an encrypted format. 6. 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). 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 Restarting KNOPPIX section later in this chapter.
