HDD install with KNX2HD and KNX-HDINSTALL easier than ever

[TechFan]

It ignorred my attempt to use the check bypass command line swithes it mentions as well. For some reason it worked this morning on a computer I had installed knoppix 3.3 on this morning. . .trying it again with VMWare using a "computer" that had 3.3 installed as well. . .see if that makes the difference.

YEP! For some reason, it is going to let me install 3.4 on the "machine" that has 3.3 installed already (booted to the 3.4 CD in that VM).

Like I said earlier. . .I get a totally different menu and don't get the space failure warning. . .I get a menu with 6 options instead of just two (partition and exit).

Anyway, there is something not right with this. . .should be able to install on a "clean" no partition system of the same size.

Where can I get the version 3.3? Anyway, When I just do the knoppix-installer (or when I do the way shown above) it comes up with xdialog or something when I choose the debian style system for installation. Is this right? It's my first time with a linux installation, as you might have guessed. It also does this with the beginner installer. I havn't seen anything on this in the install docs, and I'm just looking for other things in this forum.

How are you meant to load a script for the install? I'm at the part where I have to type lynx -source etc.

hi,

you can download knoppix 3.3 from ftp://ftp.kulnet.kuleuven.ac.be/mirror/knoppix

the installation procedures you find on at http://godot.be also cover that version for a hard disk install...

I think I have found a solution. At least It worked for me. I had the same error message telling about requeriments all the time from the console. But then I tried to use the X11 installer version and well, instead the default console partition tool it loaded me QTParted and well, I made the partitions with it and all worked well. I think the reason in my case could be that was needed an extended partition that console partition tool don't create. I hope this helps you.

thanx for the suggestion: I have included a note suggesting to restart the installation procedure with the x11-based variant of knx2hd in case this type of problems occurs

Hi All,

I'm new on linux OS, I tried to install knoppix 3.4 to HDD but unsuccessful. I'm using 8G HDD, single-boot. I followed step by step instruction from this "http://godot.studentenweb.org/debian/index.cgi" web-site. Up to the point where I start the installation, I got the following error message:

"Error: Mounting of/dev/hda failed. Some messages from mount: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736

writing inode tables: 1/32
4/32"

Anyone can help?

Thank you!
Robertus

Hi godot.. is there an install procedure for 3.4 or is it the same as for 3.3?

WooHoo it's me again, I went to your page and found the answer to my question. Very nice page BTW, I'll get into it more later.

dear robertus,

it seems like a hardware problem to me... you could try using reiserfs rather than ext3 as the filesystem...

Hello godot.

I made it, typing in Konq, using the 2.6? kernel from the Knoppix 3.4 cd But itäs all on mz HDD now. Just wanted to Thank Zou for zour site and the verz nice instructions. heh heh I just set my keyboard layout to something I recognize.
Look for a thread about how to set 1280 x 1024 when all that is shown is 1024x768 and lower. That'll be me if you have an answer jump in!

I got it.. just edited the *-4 file and it's now working fine
