Cheatcodes do NOT seem to be working for "home=, todd=, or from=" - Versions 6.2+

@Krishna, thanks for yur help.

I cannot duplicate your finding on tohd=. The /dev/sda7 partition is never populated for subsequent use. Maybe my problem has to do with the filesystem or something else. I have even tried to just per-create a blank KNOPPIX folder on the drive, but to no avail and my cheatcode IS LOWERCASE.

Here's more details.
Athlon, 2GB memory, 160GB HDD, partitioned with a Swap and other partitions where one of the partitons (sda7) iis a blank ext3 partition. And, /dev/sda7 is NOT a part of an LVM.

What is your configuration for Knoppix version6.2+ that you are having the success you indicate? (It might help me discover and post why I am having the problems in using this Cheatecode.)
Would you share also exactly the boot time syntax that you use to create the persistence.

There isn't much pre-configuration involved - if I just boot a Knoppix 6.2.1 DVD with something like

knoppix tohd=/dev/sda7

then it works. How sure are you that you've got a properly formatted sda7? It has worked for me with a NTFS file-system, so I'm sure it will work with ext3, too.

Cheers!

Success @krista.murphy.

I stopped using my DVD and used my CD. I was able to, just as your sample suggest, what the function provides and I did indeed get a /KNOPPIX folder on my HDD. thanks for your sample.

I tried all of the other combinations of defining tohd= but this is the ONLY one that worked.
