Well, I normally do security videos, and this is not exactly a security video, but it still may be useful to some. I created a Flash Animation of how to install Knoppix 3.8 to your hard drive. It’s 3.75MB in size. You can find it at:

Hope it’s of use to some of you. It’s a great way to get a Linux box up and running fast. I illustrate how to add extra tools after the install by setting up Dsniff on the box. Enjoy. It may still have some bugs, email me if you find any major ones.

That was great! How about showing a dual-boot install with a existing NTFS partition?

At some point maybe. Does Knoppix come with a tool for resizing an active partition?

I used VNC to get the display to a windows box, then I used CamStudio 2 (the Open Source version thats hard to find now) to capture the video. I then use VirtualDub and Flash MX to put it all together. I grab the audio with Audacity. You can find a link to CamStudio in the credits section of the Knoppix tutorial.

Thank you...

I wanted to put Knoppix to a hard drive install a while back and never really had much success with it.

This was VERY informative! It was exactly the info i was looking for. thank you thank you!

Just for the record; i had WinXP on one partition of the hard drive. (unallocated space on the rest) I just left the Win partition alone in Qparted and made my swap and ext3 no problem from what was left... the rest of the install as described in the tutorial... The boot loader was set and configured automatically, I now have a perfectly functional dual boot system!

Its Working Great!

Again, Great Job Irongeek!
