KNOPPIX is a very useful bootable Live system on CD, DVD or USB memory stick.
Download: http://www.knoppix.info/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html (4.7GB)
Choose a link under "Download von" or "Protokoll", and then click a button [ >>>Akzeptieren>>> ].
Now, you can download the latest ISO image, and make a live Knoppix into a DVD or USB memory stick with nominal 8GB or more.
Desktop:
Now, you can change a desktop workspace by rotating desktops with the middle mouse button.
You need not install Knoppix into another USB memory because the remained disk space in the USB memory is available to store data. The following picture shows the disk usage before the first boot.
There is an unallocated disk space after the third partition. But, the following picture shows the disk usage after the first boot.
The unallocated disk space is merged to the third partition labeled "KNOPPIX_DATA", and then some files are written.
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt-system type iso9660 (ro,relatime,nojoliet,check=s,map=n,blocksize=2048)
/dev/sdb3 on /KNOPPIX-DATA type reiserfs (rw,relatime)
$ ls /KNOPPIX-DATA
etc home root sbin usr var
The first partition looks empty, but there is a file system.
autorun.bat autorun.inf autorun.pif boot cdrom.ico efi index.html KNOPPIX
The USB disk has no swap partition. However, if there are some swap partitions on your hard disk, you can use it.
$ sudo -s
# swapon
NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/zram0 partition 2.7G 0B 0
/dev/zram0: UUID="b513ee67-3a47-4dd1-b7be-7c6f4728b092" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sda3: UUID="92e381b0-2940-4b30-ba67-e3bb33fb9da0" TYPE="swap" PARTUUID="d1a06a38-03"
# swapon /dev/sda3
# swapoff /dev/zram0
You can also make a swap file.
# cd /KNOPPIX-DATA
# dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1M count=<xxxx> && sync
# mkswap swapfile
# chmod 600 swapfile
# swapon $PWD/swapfile
# echo $PWD/swapfile swap swap 0 0 >> /etc/fstab
