Thanks, Spencer, I will give that a try. Yes, I always try to remember
to
back up my last working Knoppix.img. I usually use a stick to keep stuff on,
but the .img file can be moved around easily enough. I'll have to give it a
shot to see how it works. With the price of the sticks always coming down, I'm
tempted to try out a bigger one. Oh, yes, unless they do something really
strange and call it an EXT2 file, that is what a Knoppix.img persistent
directory is to be formatted as. ---Jim
