did you try
because by the permission it seems your not the root...Code:sudo knoppix-installer
When I install Knoppix v3.9 onto my harddrive this appears in the terminal
is this a bad thing?Code:knoppix@0[knoppix]$ sudo knoppix-installer /usr/bin/mkdesktophdicons: line 42: cannot create temp file for here document: Permission denied /usr/bin/mkdesktophdicons: line 100: cannot create temp file for here document: Permission denied Can't open /mnt/hdinstall/home/adm/.mozilla/default/*/prefs.js: No such file or directory. /usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1194: No soundcards found...

also when I boot up into knoppix from the hard drive... instead of the colorful Knoppix text theres this 'Kanotix (HD-Installation)'
when I try to login as root theres a pop up that says "Root Logins are not allowed".
but it lets me use 'su' in the terminal
Thanks for any help....

The installer runs but error mesages appear in the terminal?
It is OK. I've seen it before.
yeah the installation worked... kinda... but with the knoppix versions I'v had installed before I could actually login as root from the login screen.....Originally Posted by UnderScore
so is it a bad thing that error messages appeared?
No. As far as I can tell, it is just diagnostic messages & is normal.so is it a bad thing that error messages appeared?
Now that you have installed 3.9, and unless you alrewady have done so, you will need to fix the networking. There is a bug documented as #15 http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Bugs/3.9-2005-05-27 and can be resolved by entering the command as root user:
ln -s /etc/init.d/ifupdown-clean /etc/rcS.d/S18ifupdown-clean
As for root, yes it has been disabled as a security feature. In almost all cases it is not necessary to run an entire KDE GUI desktop as the root user. Instead you can use su and kdesu to run commands or programs with the autority of root user in your existing KDE session.
From a non-root user account, edit a text file with KDE's Kate as root:
kdesu kate /path/to/file.txt
From a non-root user account, run KDE's Control Center as root:
kdesu kcontrol
To move/delete/copy files as root:
kdesu konqueror /path/to/folder/
It will popup a dialog and like su or sudo, it will ask for the root user password. Once you give it the root password, the command you gave it will run as root and will have full authority as root.
ok... thx for clearing that up for me...
now... when I tried your command
this is what I got.....Code:ln -s /etc/init.d/ifupdown-clean /etc/rcS.d/S18ifupdown-clean
EDIT: ok nvm that last part.... I think I got it... haha..... thx againCode:adm@SYSTM:~$ ln -s /etc/init.d/ifupdown-clean /etc/rcS.d/S18ifupdown-clean ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/rcS.d/S18ifupdown-clean' to `/etc/init.d/ifupdown-clean': Permission denied adm@SYSTM:~$
