HD install 4.0: openoffice and samba does not work

[rotbart]

I have installed knx 4.0 on HD in beginners mode.
It looks quite good, but openoffice and samba do not work.

starting Openoffice, it works for a while and then it dies silently whithout showing any response.
Looks like something is missing

Samba-server starts, but the second window asking if all drives should be shared r/w does not
appear. So in WIN only the workgroup and the Server shows up, but no shared drive. How can I call
this window?

The Linux partition has a size of 19 GB and the swap 600 MB

Any hint to fix this?

Your problems with a HD install in not unusual. Read the HD Install Howto (http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Hd_Install_HowTo) and see why we recommend to not install Knoppix to the HD. And if you so choose to install Knoppix to the HD, see also HD Install: Types of installation (http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Hd_Install_HowTo#Types_of_installation) for why the Debian method (http://www.virtualacuity.com/james/knoppix-other/knop40/install/snapshot12.png) is the preferred method.

For a visual walkthrough of the Knoppix 4.0 HD install (which I personally do not recommend) see http://www.virtualacuity.com/james/knoppix-other/knop40/

**EDIT** You will probably not see much help unless someone else also has a beginner HD install of the 4.0 DVD.

First of all I tried the Debian type, but I felt myself thrown back into the stone age':(' . Nothing is installed, just the kernel.....
No help for installation (YAST?)
I am not the command line freak and I am Knoppix fan because this fine and intelligent Hardware detection works really fine
and helps me to overcome the pitfalls of learning, searching and doing all that hardware and driver configuration.

I kicked away SUSE cause it left off to much questions after installation. For what I have to know which Graphic chip I use when knoppix is able to detect it? Knoppix is the evidence that all this detections are possible..
The live CD/DVD if knx works nearly perfect and I do not understand why the same comfort should not work on HD?

I have the strong feeling that for the experts it is a matter of honour, not to use the automatic detections and to clicki-clacki
all that stuff for yourself. The same reason for that some people do not want to drive cars with automatic gearcase.

I just want to work with Linux, not to research it!

Nevertheless I hope that someone in the forum will understand me and can give me - I think - some simple hints.

Thanks in advance for that
