270573	2004-09-10 13:11:00	Try this when you get the: Boot: prompt at the start of Knoppix loading, type: knoppix nofb 2 Then follow the command-line walkthrough ;-) Otherwise, try: knoppix screen=800x600 vsync=60 Chill.	Chilling_Silence (9)
270574	2004-09-10 13:16:00	Chilli, Thanks, I have used 800x600 & 640 x480 with sucess before, This was odd displayed in 4 vertical colums very light? Got out another unit, tested Knoppix boot first, ok. Just about finished xp install now. D.	drb1 (4492)
270575	2004-09-10 15:57:00	Yeah... Use the aforementioned Boot Flags and you should be good.....	Chilling_Silence (9)
270576	2004-09-10 22:17:00	Removing Internet Explorer from Windows XP. Using Knoppix 3.4. Instructed by Chilling Silence. Tested and Edited by (?). Intellectual property rights the above. (intro) Star your computer by pressing the power button, at the Bios screen enter your Bios (normally by pressing delete at the correct time). Choose the display screen that contains your Boot Device order, check that your C/D ROM is set to Boot before your Hard Drive, (Some Bios may need the in front of the Floppy, to Boot from it) alter as necessary. (At the completion of this exercise you may wish/need to reset your Bios to its original configuration, take note of what you changed, and how) Exit the Bios screen normally by pressing Esc, from the Main Menu select the “save and exit setup option”. There will normally be a question screen asking y or n (Yes or No)? Save this alteration. Ensure that yes is selected or your changes will not take effect on restart. Most computers will automatically restart at this point. While the computer is going through its restart cycle open your C/D drive and insert the Knoppix C/D (Quickly before the computer completes post). The Computer should now Boot the Knoppix C/D, and display a screen showing a logo and Boot options, press Enter for Auto Boot. If there were no Boot issues you will end up with a Konquer browser screen displaying a logo, with several language options beneath it. Select the appropriate language (with your mouse Click) if you have never used Knoppix before you should have a read, and a look around at this point. After Minimising or closing the Kde window you will see the knoppix desk top (not that different is it?)On the left in a column should be icons, there should be one labelled Hard Disk Partition [hda1] single Click this Icon. A browser window should open labelled “file:/mnt/hda1”. If this Window does not contain the files/folders in your Windows partition (C Drive) All is not well (How do I mount my Windows partition in Knoppix, if Knoppix doesn’t do it automatically? is another article). WARNING, you will see some files and possibly folders you do not normally see in the windows environment. Do Not Interfere with the contents of these, unless you enjoy making problems for your self, looking to learn is quite safe. Click on the Knoppix Penguin (It should be the second Icon from the left in the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Right Clicking in the White Space on the Taskbar, will bring a Popup Menu, you can resize this Taskbar in the menu if you wish) A resizable black window should appear (ohh the dreaded Linux shell) labelled “Root” There should be text in the top left of the screen “root@ttypo[knoppix]#” and a cursor (probably red, because this is a powerful place) Type Chilli at this point type “remountrw /dev/hda1exit” Press enter = Get conqueror error box “usage: /usrbin/remountrw/dev/partitionname [ok]” What have I not done quite wright?	drb1 (4492)
270577	2004-09-10 22:31:00	Chilli, Is this because i did not give the H/disk a "volume lable" when it was formatted?	drb1 (4492)
270578	2004-09-10 22:39:00	>>Chilli at this point type “remountrw /dev/hda1exit” Is that a typo in your command above? The command you want is: remountrw /dev/hda1 Then you type in "exit" on a separate line.	Jen C (20)
270579	2004-09-10 23:12:00	Jen, If I type remountrw /dev/hda1 press enter = question box do you really want to make partion read only yes/no click no. partition is still read only (partitionis fat 32). If I type remountrw /dev/hda1 exit press enter = same result, but partition is originally read only? Owner is, knoppix knoppix permissions are -rw-r--r-- Partition writable no the write acess is not changing ?	drb1 (4492)
270580	2004-09-10 23:22:00	Jen, Chilli, The command needs tuning the partiton is writable. The folder program files (and probably all it sub files) are not.	drb1 (4492)
270581	2004-09-11 02:05:00	Try clicking Yes after typing: remountrw /dev/hda1 Also, if you (as root) type: mount /mnt/hda1 It'll mount the HDD so root has rw access, but not the user. An easier way might be: Boot Knoppix Click the lil penguin icon in the taskbar click on root shell type: mount /mnt/hda1 type: export DISPLAY=0:0 lastly, type: konqueror Then carry on.......
