Knoppix
Hello All,
I have a Knoppix CD. I am able to boot Knoppix(Linux) from the CD.
How do I save a document that I created using OpenOffice(Writer) to either my harddrive on Windows or to a USB instead of the CD itself.
I am new to Knoppix and am not sure of the GUI. I tried mounting the USB drive with the 'mount' command but it says that I have to be at root. I don't have a login account but just work at the KDE. There is no icon for USB on the desktop.
I would appreciate if you can give me a step by step method to access either the USB or the Windows harddrive.
Thanks,
Anil
