| 313796 | 2005-01-14 21:33:00 | I am pleased that it keeps all you linux experts happy., but for learners like me that like to fiddle with things and learn a bit I dont need a secure system, I dont care much if I do wreck it I just try and fix it or reinstall it. I'm a learner to, and I fiddle all the time, I've installed and un-installed Linux over and over again... problem is I can never leave it for too long. As far as Jen's point regarding a secure system that's the whole idea behind Linux. It' sort of stops people who don't know your system or don't know what they're doing from causing any damage and if they do, the system won't work or you as the system owner will know it's been tampered with. Personally I'd prefer a secure system to a user friendly one....ease of use doesn't necessarily mean hassle free use, but that goes for a secure system as well.... you don't want it to bloody hard to use.... cheers chiefnz |

I think they are clearer and more detailed than my previous one. www.bytebot.net Ok I followed the instructions but when I run the bit where it says... run knx-hdinstall... which is supposed to be in /usr/local/bin I get a message which says file or directory not found, I went to the directory and there's nothing in /usr/local/bin? Anyone have any ideas.... If it helps I downloaded Knoppix from the JSG server. cheers chiefnz |

| 313798 | 2005-01-15 22:26:00 | Just type kn then press the TAB key twice, it'll tell you what files are available. It's been renamed to something like knoppix-hdinstaller or something to that effect. | ninja (1671) | ||

Thanks ninja that worked a treat, command turned out to be "knx2hd" Anyways so I have Knoppix installed but there are a few things that need to be cleared up. 1) it's running in console mode, if I want the GUI interface, I have to run the "init 5" command. 2) I got no sound at all, system tells me it has detected a SB Audigy card but sound modules aren't loaded. 3) I ran "apt-get update" but does this command actually update your installation if not how do I do it. I like the way Knoppix looks and I think I may have found a distro that I am going to stick with... the best part of it is that I can access my NTFS partitions... woot!!!!!!!!! Any advice will be appreciated cheers chiefnz |

| 313800 | 2005-01-16 06:59:00 | 2) I got no sound at all, system tells me it has detected a SB Audigy card but sound modules aren't loaded.Weird... it _should_ work, make sure the volumes are up on the mixers (as these seem to be at 0 by default. 3) I ran "apt-get update" but does this command actually update your installation if not how do I do it.This updates the package list, then run apt-get install package-name or apt-get upgrade Which ISP are you with as you should be able to use NZ mirrors for Debian packages. However the official mirror can't be accessed via some ISP's (those that don't peer). |

| 313801 | 2005-01-16 10:08:00 | Yeah thanks again ninja, I'm with Quicksilver (2Mb, 10GB) It kinda sucks my sound doesn't work cos all my music is on my NTFS drives. I'll give it a try and see what happens cheers chiefnz |

| 313802 | 2005-01-16 10:28:00 | I installed Knoppix 3.3 to a hard drive from instructions I found on the net. Everything worked OK but I was Dissapointed with the result. The system is ultra secure, you have to keep logging in as root just to perform even the simplest task, after a while it drives you nuts. I uninstalled it after 2 days.I-gordon, if you are happy to take the risk that you might accidentally do damage, then run perminantly as root, but make at least one user account for guests or anyone else that you may share the computer with. That way you can make and break things to your hearts content, :rolleyes: but others can't! :D |
