I have no idea what could be causing it. Maybe someone has that same problem and a solution?
Did you tried every time from scratch? like re-downloading the knofig, etc?
When you boot up with the CD do you use any cheat codes?

Take care.
The next screen just gives me the option to partition. As soon as I manually create two primary partitions. . .first 3800MB bootable and the second 400MB. . .then when I write and quite it gives me the same message again. . .and again and again. . .?
I would have thought that maybe it was VMWare. . .but it works fine with v3.3

I have tried without any cheat codes. I have added lang=en and have also tried dma.
I also did try downloading the most recent from the web with the provided update script.
I have deleted all the partitions several times as well.
Your problem sounds like you have a hidden mbr giving you trouble. Boot to a DOS floppy that has fdisk on it. type : fdisk /mbr. That should fix your master boot record. If you still have a Knoppix 3.3 do a disk partition with it instead of the 3.4. This morning, I tried to hdd Knoppix 3.4 using a seperate 50mb boot secto, which it created hidden! Things got screwed up, so I went back to try a regular hdd install using hda1 and hda2 (swap). I would not take. I ended up fdisk / mbr, and using knoppix 3.3 to setup the hd. What does 3.4 report as your total partiion size. When I was having trouble, my total partitions were a little less than my hard drive, telling me there was a hidden partition.
Hope this works for you. It did for me.

Thanks. I tried fdisk /mbr and then repartitioned on 3.3. Still same message.
I am using a 3.2GB drive. . .2900MB for primary, then the remaining 300MB for swap. Again, I have no trouble choosing to install 3.3 to hd, but 3.4 just doesn't like me.
hi,
the procedure now also includes a knofig file which does not perform the hard disk size checks... this means <quote from knofig> the program will NOT check if there is enough space to install knoppix on the selected partition(s). Use at your own risk! </quote from knofig>
hope that hepls, g.
i've been WAITING for this! heh (get it: waiting? waiting for godot? oh, nevermind.)
will try it out first thing tomorrow, see if it fixes my install problems.
What in the world? I tried the install again today booting off my 3.4 CD after a week trip (on which I carried my knoppix cd the whole time but didn't actually end up using it). . .when I ran knx2hd today I got an entirely different menu. . .and it seems to be installing on the same computer it wouldn't work on before. . .?
Only difference this time is that 3.3 was already installed on the HD this time and the CD had a week in my backpack in Taiwan.
Just got a couple errors about not being able to delete some folder because it is read only. . .didn't catch the entire message. Still completed successfully.
hi,
there are indeed two distinct graphical interfaces for the hard disk installation tool... this was also the case for knoppix 3.x where x is strictly less than 4
if one follows my procedure exactly and executes `sudo su -;sudo knx2hd` in a terminal window, one gets the text/ncurses based gui. but if one simply executes `sudo knx2hd`, one gets the X11-based gui.
I used to have problems with the password entry prompt using the X11-based installer for knoppix 3.x where x is strictly less than 4, but this problem never occurred using the text/ncurses gui.

I'm trying to install the 3.4 version of Knoppix, and I have a bit of a problem. When I go to install, it says I don't have enough space. Is 100GB enough? Anyway, I tried using the config said for no checking the hds, and that didn't work. I then used the IGNORE_CHECK=1 command which then came up with the hd error (as said in the guide), but then went straight to this dialog and back to the root.
Please can someone help? [/quote]Fatal dialog error:
Error: Expected at least 7 tokens for --radiolist, have 4.
