You are so right! But the question is, how best to copy the 
crucial data?  I normally burn a DVD of my home directory/folder 
(about 2.3 Gig) at the first of each month, so my last one is 
a month old.  So the question now is, can I use KB3 on Knoppix, 
to burn a DVD of this directory, and if so what would be the steps 
to do that? 

I have been able to copy a few files to a flash stick, but even 
doing that has proved to be a bit tricky.
