    HDD Smaller than 2.2 GB

    Is there a script or where must I edit the script to get knoppix to install on multiple HDD's smaller than 2.2 GB for example (2 x 2.1 GB)

    It's in the knx-hdinstall script line 226 look at FSMIN.

    Looks cool... but how do I use any setting other than the default? The file's very much read-only, as it's on a CD.

    Just guessing, but you should be able to copy it to the ram drive (for example to the knoppix home) and the edit and run it.

    That's how I always edit it.

    I found that the easiest (though not the most elegant) way is to copy it to the Floppy and then edit and save it there for possible future use. Another tip to find the correct line is <cat knx-hdinstall | grep -in fsmin> this tells you the line no. and then with vi it's a cake walk (only needed if you have a different ver.).

    Open up a shell and type: sudo knx-hdinstall

    That should do it.
