Installing with Grub?
Hello all!
Is there any way to install from CD and not install LiLo, but GRUB?
Thanks...

You should post what your goals are exactly. What kind of install are you doing? if you are doing a poor mans install and have xp on an ntfs partition and want to boot from the iso file, then check out this link;

Plus, there are other versions of this type of install, and almost all of them i Ibelieve use GRUB.

No, there doesn't seem to be a way to install GrUB from within the knoppix-installer script that's on the CD. But there are other options. (It's a rule of unix-type operating systems that There's More Than One Way To Do It!
)
If you already have a bootloader installed that can do multiple boots (and WinXP can, for example), choose to put LILO in the Knoppix partition rather than the MBR, and you won't ever see LILO again. ![Wink](images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
If you don't have such a bootloader already, you can put LILO in either place and install GrUB when you're done with knoppix-installer - GrUB actually does come with Knoppix. If you put LILO in the MBR, reboot into Knoppix and install GrUB. If you put LILO in the Knoppix partition, boot from the CD again and install GrUB.
Or, you can install something other than Knoppix entirely. It's designed to run from CD, so putting it on a HD involves compromises.
One of the more challenging aspects of Knoppix-on-HD is adding programs and maintaining what's already there. This is due to Knoppix mixing software from different branches of Debian in addition to customizing some of the pieces.
Right now the "testing" version of Debian - sarge - works very well. Much of Knoppix comes from this branch, and the hardware detection is almost as good as with Knoppix. If something isn't quite right, it can probably be tweaked from Knoppix parameters.
Maintaining a pure Debian is much easier. Desktop tools such as synaptic are really sweet, and they work best on installations that aren't mixed releases like Knoppix. Installation is maybe a little less smooth than with Knoppix, but you get to choose between the default GrUB, LILO, and no bootloader.
Okay? ![Very Happy](images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
