Hello all,

I made the Knoppix-usb, but it still works as a cd - files cant be
written on card ( i cant make chenges to system files and write some

How to make (mount ?) usb writable ?

I'm not quite sure what you want to write. If you want to write to
USB (fob?) _outside_ the compressed Knoppix filesystem, just remount
it read/write. If you want to add to/change files within the Knoppix
filesystem, you will have to remaster your installation. If you want
to make changes to your "desktop" environment, there are ways to
persist that outside of Knoppix by saving configuration files and
loading them at boot time with a cmd-line option.
