Hi there
Seeing knoppix, tempted me to install it on my HD.
After reading alot on this site, thehowto and the new v3.3, i tryed to install it, using the new knoppix-installer (the knoppix way)..
The install works fine, and in the end i'm prombted to insert a floppy, i guess it is for boot.
anyway it is LILO, that is my problem.

After configuration of lilo.conf i try to run lilo(right after install, no reboot) but i get an error:
Fatal: create /boot/map~:Read-only file system

Then i tryed to see if my bios have some kind of protection for MBR, but it has no such thing
i have tryed to install knoppix 5 times, both with lilo for MBR or root partition and the same/similar error occurs.

And i can't boot from either floppy or HD

I guess it has something to do with permissions, but what should i do

comp. data
hda1 -> winXP
hdc1 -> where knoppix is intalled

Are you telling us that after knoppix-installer finishes you then edit /etc/lilo.conf and re-run lilo? If so that would not be a good idea. LiLo should be configured automatically from the installer. You shouldn't need to edit /etc/lilo.conf at all. LiLo is usually very good about setting up multiple drives. If I'm way off base here then please do explain. :)

hmm, that sounds mystirius. And for that reason i've made some snapshots of the installation, it can be found here

Take a look at picture 015.png, and take a good look at the console in the botom. There it says that i should configure lilo...

Btw, one of my friens told my that it maybe has something to do with read write permissions ?
