Firstly, Greets all, am new to the forum ;)
Secondly, I'm also new to installing Linux.
Thirdly - Unsuprisingly perhaps, I have a problem
I tried to install Knoppix using 'sudo knoppix-installer' ( using knoppix 3.7 )
All goes well until the end of the installation ( i.e. 100% of copying files )
But then in the root shell I had these error messages:-
=======================
mv: when moving multiple files, last argument must be a directory
Try 'mv --help'' for more information.
Chown: 'gK' : invalid user
Unkown id: gK

============================================
After all that ^^ the installation had apperntly been successful so I restarted, booted up knoppix all seemed okay till i tried to login, at which point I was greeted by various KDE errors ( i dont have the exact errors handy right now but should you need to the errors to help me I shall obtain them asap. ) and basically KDE wouldnt load, but I could however login with console etc. it seemed to be the KDE system alone that was buggered.
Reading the above errors ^ I thought it could be something to with read permissions somewhere etc. but I checked them out and it seemed okay, plus it got through the rest of the installation fine...
Obviously I tried a reinstall ( twice, actually ) but to no avail, any ideas r appreciated.
I tried Googling for it n searching these forums but I havent found anything close to my problem yet, I know i've probably done something really dumb thats really easy to fix lol, but thanks in advance for any help you can give :)
Cheers
p.s. ehm btw all the 'gk' and 'angel' stuff refers to my user account which i set up as my handle 'gK Angel'
