Hi all,
has anyone else had problems with this script? I did a verify on
my Knoppix 3.2 disc - bought from CheapBytes 'cause I have a modem
connection - and it verified fine. But the install script dies
during the copying of files (about 10% through). Several times I
tried. No luck.
So I have a ~4gig partition for Knoppix and a 300mb swap partition
defined. I tried copying the Knoppix installation to the /dev/hda2
partition (my 4 gig) and then editing the knx-hdinstall shell script
to run from my home directory rather than the CD. Darn difficult
for a beginning bash shell scripter I must say.
Got most of the way through but am hung up in the lilo.conf section.
My lilo.conf doesn't look quite right (way more minimalist than the
example) and it won't write to the MBR. Nor will it properly burn
a boot floppy (yet).
I'm about ready to give up and go back to installing Mandrake 9.1
but I thought maybe somebody would have an idea why the script
is dying on me (and a simple fix).
I've got a Sony PCG-505F laptop with external floppy and CDROM
drive. 20gig hard drive, Pentium 233Mhz chip. Boot using
knoppix ide2=0x180 nopcmcia 'cause the Sony uses a very funky
PCMCIA external CDROM and this was the only way I could get it
to boot off the CD.
This install script is just killing me..
thanks much,
Stefan
ps. love Knoppix so far (running from CD). Just hope it is much
faster off the hard drive (I expect it will be).
