I think that is "Save KNOPPIX configuration" from the "KNOPPIX" menu item. Then, the student can pick right back up from where they left off.

I host my Python courses with Moodle. Students can work on any system. At the end of their lab session, they use a browser to save a zipped folder with their intermediate results within Moodle. Later they can download that zipped folder anywhere and continue with the lab. (Moodle does not carry Python, so it should be installed on the system). No need to burn CDs or even use flash (although I would personally save a backup copy somewhere.)
