| 313783 | 2005-01-14 00:14:00 | Hi guys, I have downloaded Knoppix 3.7 from the JSG realm. I have run the CD and I really like it, to my surprise it supports the NTFS filesystem, I can see my NTFS partitions "straight out of the box" so to speak. What I would like to do now is install Knoppix onto my hard drive, but I can't seem to find any command that allows me to do this. I have tried using the "expert" command at install but it doesn't let me configure much. I would really like to be able to configure some of my hardware, particularly my sound card and graphics card. The sound card is detected but is not enabled as the module path is not defined? Any help would be appreciated. cheers chiefnz |

| 313786 | 2005-01-14 04:39:00 | Unless they've updated it in the last week, the HD installer script doesn't work properly for Serial ATA drives. The installer appears to work, however on reboot the kernel panics because the module it needs to access the SATA drive doesn't load. At least in my experience. There is an option to download the latest hd installation script from the net which may be worth a try as they might've fixed it, I can't remember the filename, but if you tye "kn" then hit TAB twice it should be obvious. |

Yeah, thanks ninja, I am actually installing it onto a 20GB Samsung IDE hard drive, I"m not installing it on to the SATA drives.. would that still pose a problem? cheers chiefnz |

| 313789 | 2005-01-14 08:36:00 | 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 (962) | ||

I uninstalled it after 2 days.This is the whole beauty of Linux, security :D If you need to perform a task which requires root powers, it really easy to whip open a terminal window and su - to root, do the task and then exit the terminal window and you're done. If you prefer a GUI to work with, it is also really easy to open Nautilis or Konqueror from a root terminal by just entering their name. The new window that opens has full root powers. You should never have to actually log in as root onto a desktop environment. I've only had to do this a couple of times last year, and that was when I was bug hunting and wanted to see the desktop/KDE as a different user. |
