HDD install with KNX2HD and KNX-HDINSTALL easier than ever
hi,
I have now extended my web page at http://godot.be (go for the animated penguins) to provide quick and easy usage guidelines for knoppix 3.4's new hard disk installation tool knx2hd and for the old knx-hdinstall utility.
in addition to these installation procedures, this page has also become a mature page on installing and configuring various types of hardware I came across and needed non-trivial fine tuning (e.g., firewire, cd/dvd burners, modems, tape drives, etc.), and provides examples and howtos for complex and less complex commands I commonly need (usually oneliners), but coiuld not easilly find elsewhere.
a secondary mirror of this page can be found at http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~decockd -> animated penguin, and a tertiary mirror at http://godot.studentenweb.org.
hope you will enjoy this page and its information as much as I do... ![Wink](images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
cu, g.
ps: I use the installation procedures myself on a very regular basis, i.e., they have been successfully tested

for those of you who may be interested: I have just significantly improved the post-initial installation procedure: by deselecting a few packages and forcing the installation of a few experimental and unstable packages, it is now possible to usedselect without *any* dependency problem right from the start... *YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE* ![Wink](images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

fyi: given the feedback I received on the previous versions of my knoppix hard disk installation instructions, I have improved them even more... ![Confused](images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

Unfortunately, I am having trouble with the knx2hd that is part of v3.4
It kept telling me that I didn't meet the requirements. . .at least 2GB partition and 256MB swap. I am trying to install on a 4GB empty partition. In progressive testing, I even created the two partitions with the partition program, set the 3.5GB partition active, set the partition types, and formatted them, but then it still complains that I don't meet the requirements.
I stuck in my v3.3 CD and ran the to harddrive utility. It found the partition just fine and I completed the harddrive install successfully. . .not sure what the difference is, but I tried it on two totally different systems with the same results.
I will enjoy playing with 3.3 for now, but it would great to at least understand what is giving me fits.
Btw, one of the tests was in VMWare, the other on a Acer PC.

Greetings TechFan.
When you ran knx2hd, did it gave you the error right away or after you got to the options screen?

Take care.

It is the second screen. The first one is just the "splash" screen with the credits that tells me it is going to try to configure. The next screen I get is that it can't find a partition.

Greetings.
Ok, that happens to me too. What I do is just press enter on that error message and it takes me to the options screen, there I select the option to create the partitions and then I select the configuration option which I believe is the first option, and then start installation.
Try it and lets us know.

Take care.
