Hello,
I have an existing linux box that I want to install Knoppix onto. Does knx-hdinstall wipe the partitions it installs into?
Specifically, I have an existing redhat box with /home part of the / filesystem. i.e., one filesystem to rule them all. I don't want my home directories to be wiped out, but I don't care about things in /bin, /usr, /etc, and so on.
If I boot knoppix, mount my current hard disk, and rm -rf everything except /home, will knx-hdinstall wipe out my /home anyway?
Thanks.
