Installing additional software
Excuse my noobie question...
I've been messing with knoppix for a few days. I would like to install this one piece of software (java-based client for the Kiseido Go Server).
It comes as a .rpm file. The KPackage program tries to install it, but fails.
Now, as I understand it, it fails because it tries to install it into the knoppix cdrom, which it can't do...
What's the best way to get around this? I have a 2nd hard drive with 2GB which I'm trying to set up as a persistent home directory. Should I be able to install it in there somehow?

Re: Installing additional software
You can try to unpack the rpm file with the command
Code:
unp nameoftherpm.prm
This unpacks the contents of the rpm into the current directory. You then can try to start the program. If it needs special libraries, it will probably not find them because they are not installed in /lib, but in your directory. Therefore, you have to set the path to the unpacked lib directory with
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/knoppix/whateverthepathis/lib
Then try to run the program again from the same console.

Re: Installing additional software
Is there a FAQ for installing software on a hard drive and making it work while running Knoppix off the CD?
Or should I just go buy a bigger hard drive, and install Knoppix on the hard drive?
