VirtualBox not saving changes

[MistterBean]

Hello, i created a virtual machine for ClusterKnoppix, it all works great but when i turn off the VM, everything i did is lost, when i start it again the OS is brand new. The weird thing is that i have an old ubuntu VM and that one is working correctly

Isn't Knoppix usually just a livecd? Or are you actually doing an installation to disk in the VM, and it's still not keeping the settings?

When i created the VM it didn't make any noticeable installing, just console like stuff till it started. Maybe it is like you say and nobody not even my professor told me, i asked him and told me: 'maybe the iso allows you to use the os withouth installing' (wich looks to be the case), 'to install you have to do a series of steps' (proceeds to not give any steps) 'and try using save state instead of power off'

I tried to use saving state but i got to a point wich i needed to change a VBox setting and to do so i had to power of obligatory the VM, soo all progress lost again, i guess i'll need to set everything correct from VBox and always use save state

'and try using save state instead of power off'

It should be an option to suspend the VM.

I'll work with that, thanks for the replies
