well im Pretty suure it needs to be atlleast 2.5G to hold knoppix
Hello,
I have a knoppix 3.4 cd and an old computer with a 2 gigabtyte harddisk.
A normal installation of knoppix isn`t possible with this so i tried a "poor man installation".
I formatted my harddisk this way:
hda1:1 GB linux ext2
hda2:0.5 GB linux swap
hda5:0.5 GB linux ext2
Now I tried to copy an image of the knoppix cd to /dev/hda1 with the tohd=/dev/hda1 command.
After a while i`ve got this error message:
/bin/cp: writing "cdrom 2/knoppix/knoppix:input/output error cloop: unloaded
Does anyone know what the problem is and how I could do better?

Maybe you mean a knoppix-installer style install, because the "tohd=" has never required more thatn 900Mb in my experience. It is, after all, writing only the compressed image from the CD.Originally Posted by le91688
Sounds like the original poster is having a hardware I/O problem -- my first instinct would be to think the CD wasn't burned properly. One time I burned the iso to a RW disk isntead of R, and it sort of resembled a working disk... but didn't really work! Maybe the iso was corrupted in the download.
I don't think that's the case. My CD isn't burned, it's from a german computer magazine.
My problem is that I really can't afford a download of 700 MB.
If anyome has a solution I would be very grateful.
