Also, I think my failure was that I didn't understand how to tell it where the Knoppx distro source was (meaning .iso, not '.c src code')
When you formerly created non-encrypted ok, how did you specify that path, to Yumi sdb? Thanks

--------------------------------------
Both times it was the 'sdb' device.
Bye!

Hi All,
I read this thread with interest because I have a similar issue.
I used the technique detailed at the end of this pos as the OP's resolution but before reading this thread. by that I mean I had created an ISO image and burned it to DVD to boot Knoppix 8.1. From there I created a Pen drive using the Flash Knoppix app.
I'm never sure which option to choose but, like the O.P. I wanted a persistent partition and don't mind if it takes up the entire USB drive so chose the encrypted partition with all the remaining space. This is a 16Gb Pen drive.
When I boot from the drive it does work, I get to Knoppix 8.1 desktop but I get an "Overlay Partition too small" error in the boot dialogue. Also, when I attempted to do an "apt upgrade" I run out of space and the upgrade fails. At this point I am unsure whether upgrading in this manner is acceptable practice but would have assumed the option unavailable if it were not possible?

So, some enlightenment on what is or should be/not be possible using a 16Gb flash drive and an installation of Knoppix 8.1. I envision having a mini, portable, secure Knoppix system to cart around in my pocket for emergencies

Thanks for any insights.

Regards,

james

I guess not then

Just tried again with Knoppix 8.2 and still the same thing, no persistent data is saved because the overlay fails to mount at startup.

Back to te drawing board
