Success Story
Well, I have posted several topics about problems with Knoppix, so I thought I would post a success story.
I downloaded and installed VMWare trial. I tried a couple of times to install Knoppix to a VMWare virtual machine using cfdisk to partition and then install Knoppix with no success. But, just an hour ago I used knoppix-installer to do a partition of and install to a VMWare virtual hard drive. Every thing worked perfectly! Now I can start VMWare, select Knoppix Virtual machine and boot to a hard drive installation of Knoppix. It looks just like a normal hard drive installation, but it is running on a virtual computer as a WindowsXP application. Awesome!! No actual hard drive partitioning. No loss of data. No worries about corrupting something. I am really excited about being able to run Knoppix with just a couple of mouse clicks from my WinXP desktop. And ctrl-alt-del will extract me from any Knoppix/VMWare problem back to my WinXP desktop.
Only one problem, VMWare is expensive.
