I plan to make Knoppix bootable on a USB flash drive. I want persistent files though upon reboot. Is the best way to do this:
1) to use the persistent KNOPPIX image (overlay feature) -OR-
2) to create a new partition for such data (on the same USB) [and if I do this one...how big should the partition for Knoppix be?]
What are the advantages disadvantes of each?
Below...I copy/pasted this (regarding these 2 options) from http://knopper.net/knoppix/knoppix742-en.html :
After having copied the system to flash, using the persistent KNOPPIX image (overlay feature) or an additional Linux partition, it is possible to also store files permanently in live mode. That way, personal settings and additionally installed programs survive a reboot.
