Thank You.
/usr/sbin/knx2hd is just a symbolic link to /usr/sbin/knoppix-installer. In other words, they're one and the same script. At least in Knoppix v3.4.
You need to be using some window manager (not necessarily KDE, I guess) when you run it, because 1) it presents you with a graphical user interface; and 2) it runs a KDE-based program, QTParted, to partition your hard drive(s). In other words, it needs X Windows to run.
So, you will need to run it from a bash prompt in a shell in a window manager (like KDE) as root.
Actually it does not need X to run. You may execute it from run level 2. It will then fire up cfdisk instead of qtparted.Originally Posted by eco2geek
I would suggest choosing the 'Debian' type install.

Will cfdisk format partitions in ext3? Or do you have to use something like "mke2fs -j /dev/hdX" after using cfdisk?
Why? Can somebody please point me to somewhere documenting the difference between these knoppix-installer types? Also, how do you customise the assignment of partitions for the installer?Originally Posted by mzilikazi

Even for me this will be very helpfull! Thanks
Here's some explanations about them: http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixInstaller
And here's a discussion about the subject: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11514
[quote="eco2geek"]That's correct you would need to format the partitions yourself as cfdisk has no capacity for formatting only marking partition types.Originally Posted by mzilikazi
X mzilikazi:
Could You tell me more on this? What exactly I have to do? It seems that qtparted would do the job, right?
Thanks
So, in my case, since I have an hardrive with windows xp and I would like a dual boot I can use qtparted only. Once qtparted will do the partition I have to click on commit to format the hardrive with a linux ext3 or reiser. Once the drive is parted I will open a root shell, then type knoppix-installer and the program will ask what type of installation I would like: debian-style, knoppix-style or beginer.
Than the program will install the knoppix, correct?
I hope I am in the right direction.
What it is not clear is what type of partition is the fastest one!?
Thanks
