Don't forget that you have the abililty to backup and restore files (to a USB flash drive for example) from the main menu option: File Restoration -> Backup | Restore.
By editing the filetool.lst file that resides in your home directory to include those configurations, files, directories, etc. that you want backed up (and then doing a backup), you can have DSL restore them at boot by giving it the option "knoppix restore".
So far, this has worked very well for me, but I could see using a symlink pointing to a home directory located elsewhere (like the Knoppix persistant home) would speed things up for some if a lot of files were involved.
I'm already very grateful that John has put together an excellent BBC desktop. I use a few various LiveCDs in my work, but DSL is the one I've chosen to keep on my person because it contains virtually every tool I need for a desktop (and it just got even better with 0.5.2!), melds with my USB flash key flawlessly (SanDisk Cruzer-Mini), and still have everything fit on a 50 MB CD. Thanks John!
