| 90840 | 2002-10-19 20:43:00 | It could be possible, but it would be very fiddly etc. Possibly the easiest way is to make an image of the CD and put that to it's own partion, then use that to boot up. BUt you would be better off downloading the version of the internet, or going to your local PC man and see if he has it on CD etc. |

| 90841 | 2002-10-19 22:15:00 | it does give u this in the faq (it's the last question) 1.) initialize a free partition with the ext2 file system and mount it on /mnt/knoppix, for example. 2.) cp -a /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/knoppix/ 3.) set up /mnt/knoppix/etc/fstab and /mnt/knoppix/etc/lilo.conf for the new system (Caution: symlinks in /boot initially point to the Ram disk!), run lilo. 4.) mkdir /mnt/knoppix/home/knoppix && \ chown knoppix.knoppix /mnt/knoppix/home/knoppix 5.) Reboot, try the system out, fix any broken settings. just wondering if anyone can make this more clear |

| 90842 | 2002-10-19 22:55:00 | I fyou want to have a dual boot OS with Linux there are other, more fully featured distributions of Linux than Knoppix which are designed to be installed on the HD, and are also free or very cheap. Have a look on Google. Good beginner distros include Mandrake, Suse and to a slightly lesser extent redhat, but there are many others too. G P |

| 90843 | 2002-10-20 01:23:00 | Well ... if you don't know *nix, that could be a hard way to learn.;-) Have a look at trademe.co.nz ... you'll find sets of Linux installation disks at a "buynow" price of $10 or $12. Knoppix is set up to run as a live CD. That set of instructions is fairly clear ... (it assumes that you have a good knowledge of *nix). The last instruction is significant: "fix any broken settings". :D |

| 90844 | 2002-10-21 03:33:00 | I wouldn't recommend Redhat 7.3. After a standard Workstation install, it's slower than WIN2000 and slower than Knoppix on the CD (?!!). Must have done something wrong but don't know what yet. Will probably try putting Knoppix onto the partitions Redhat setup. | Phil32 (1492) | ||

| 90846 | 2002-11-04 00:44:00 | Re Red Hat 7.3. I first installed Red Hat 7.1 on a Celeron 400 with 64MB ram and the gui ran like a dog (my hard disk may have been a factor). The thing about Linux is you can optimise it for your hardware. Mandrake appears to run faster as I understand it is optimised for the Pentium cpu. I have about 100MB of ram in the Celeron 400 and with a faster hard disk, it runs fine. |

| 90847 | 2002-11-09 00:51:00 | I run Knoppix on all my drives and also remaster the cd.To install to hdd just hit F2 at the boot prompt and type in knoppix lang=? (I use us) to be sure the install runs in english.Then boot Knoppix to the kde desktop and open a root shell or type sudo su in a konsole to get root. CD to /usr/local/bin and type knx-hdinstall The install is EASY but you will have to change the language agian after install and work out a few more things like fix the swap it makes during install but done use and mabey edit to fix dhcp. I LOVE Knoppix Ken |
