You can start KNOPPIX anytime by just inserting your KNOPPIX CD or DVD and restarting your
computer. However, if you want to take advantage of the persistent desktop you set up or the
saved configuration information, you need to add some options to the KNOPPIX boot prompt.
Here's how:
1. Insert your KNOPPIX CD or DVD into the computer and reboot. You should see the
KNOPPIX boot prompt.
2. Press F3 (before KNOPPIX boots) to see if any additional boot options are required.
3. If you have a configuration floppy boot disk (or other removable media created in an earlier procedure),
insert that disk now.
4. At the boot prompt, type one of the following command lines, which are different ways to
load your configuration files:
boot: knoppix floppyconfig
boot: knoppix myconfig=/dev/hda1
boot: knoppix myconfig=/dev/sda1
boot: knoppix myconfig=scan
These KNOPPIX boot commands, respectively, get configuration information from the
floppy disk, look for that information on the first IDE drive partition (/dev/hda1),
look for it on the first SCSI drive partition (/dev/sda1), or scan all available drives to find the
information. To boot to a persistent desktop (assuming you set one up earlier), you can
instead type:
boot: knoppix home=/dev/hda1/knoppix.img
boot: knoppix home=/dev/sda1/knoppix.img
boot: knoppix home=scan
