Arrggghhhh,
At least the printer is working.
Perhaps you should file a bug on the package Fabian may be able to do something with the script definitely strange though I used it a few times testing it and never seen this.

I don't know, it must be me. I've only been using KNOPPIX since V2.2 so you'd think I wouldn't be having all these problems lately!
Anyway, I'm afraid to post a bug. I may get a great response like last time....
OK, so I go boot the CD, start a root shell and invoke knoppix-installer. The first GUI screen I get is the Initialization Screen with info on the authors and a warning about knowing what you're doing.
Now the next screen works fine!!! I take it all back. I don't know why the 3 other times I tried it, knoppix-installer only had those 2 options after the init screen.
Well, now I don't need it as I did knx-hdinstall. I guess I can play with it at school when I install my 25 new PCs....
Regards,

On the first three the HD was not already partitioned for linux right? I never went through that I already had the partitions there, that's about the only difference I can see where the problem would be.

No, the partitions were there.
My kids managed to fry hda1 with the blaster worm. So I had already used the KNOPPIX CD with cfdisk to delete hda1 (20GB WINME) and create 3 new partitions: hda1 (10GB VFAT32), hda2 (9.5GB linux) and hda3 (0.5GB linux swap). Then I instaled WINXP on hda1 (for the wife and kidsdon't ya know) and knx-hdinstalled hda2/hda3. No need for qtparted....
Oh, here's another curiousity. After I installed everything as per above, when I boot the CD, it only lists hda1 and hda2 on the desktop. After creating the 3 partitions with cfdisk, but before using knx-hdinstall, all 3 partitions were listed on the desktop when I booted the CD. What does this mean?

Damn strange indeed, the three partitions showing up would be correct as you have to initialize the /swap partition once you installed then it was a true /swap that was initialized and would not show up. BTW when you partitioned you could have made 4 partitions (windows, /, /swap and one for /home) so you could have a proper /home partition in case you ever want to re-install, as so many people seem to do when a new version comes out, it would save you time and effort getting everything back the way it you want it. If you go this route you should save the files you change in /etc somewhere in the /home then it's just a matter of new install of knoppix point to the correct /home partition by restoring the /etc/fstab and the other files from the saved /etc while the CD is still booted then when you re-boot after install voila there is the system as you left it with a new knoppix.

Oh, so once the swap partition is initialized, it doesn't show up as a separate partition anymore? OK, I didn't know that.
The separate root and home partition idea is a good one. However, I'm used to backing up all my important data to a CD anytime I play around with reinstalling OSes. So I'm OK as is.
Regards,
