Ruben,
BTW, more recent versions of KNOPPIX use union fs.
They use it to allow you to make changes to the configuration systems.
ex: you can not write to /etc if /etc is on a cdrom but with
unionfs, it allows the machine to show you /etc that is comeing from
the cdrom and allows you to make changes to it. In the past
this allows for changes all over the "filesystem" in that anytime
you want to make a change, it is writing to the change to a ramdisk
but the files that are not changed are on the cdrom.
Hope that helps.
Matthew
