I'm trying to install 3.6 after my HD install of 3.4 bit the dust after trying to put the latest version of Gimp on: yes folks, I got pangoed!
So, I'm trying to put 3.6 on with a 2.6 kernel using knoppix installer (I'd have much sooner used knx-hdinstaller, but it simply isn't there anymore).
I've 3 HDs. hdd is simply an old SuSE install which I have lying about in case I need to grab stuff off it. hda has multi-media stuff on it, but no OS. It's ext3, although sometimes Linux disagrees. hdc1 has/had everything except my /home partition on it. /home is hdc3.
So, naturally, I want to install 3.6 onto hdc1.
I figure we put Lilo onto hdc1 and boot from that, eh?
Before anything, I run fsck:
fsck /dev/hdc1
fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
/dev/hdc1: clean, 127879/1831424 files, 606396/3662812 blocks
fsck /dev/hdc3
fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
/dev/hdc3 has been mounted 68 times without being checked, check forced.

/dev/hdc3: 61602/13189120 files (3.9% non-contiguous), 21567067/26370697 blocks
OK, on with the show!
su
knoppix-installer
Choose the beginner mode, edit /root/.knoconf with vim (as su) to use grub rather than Lilo.
