Except that when you power down or reboot the computer, all the changes you have made are lost. Some means of persistently storing changes on a removal medium, like a USB memory stick, would be good. Knoppix already provides for mounting a user's home directory on a USB memory stick - it would be just a matter of providing some means to dump the back-end data store (which is in RAM) to the home directory on the USB stick before shutting down, and then restoring it when restarting the next day. Or alternatively storing the live database files on the USB stick, subject to the caveats noted previously about the limited write-cycle longevity of the USB stick flash memory. Tim C
