Please help with installing knoppix on Hard Disk
Hello there, first of all I am very, very, very imppressed with knoppix.
I've had a dud old PC in my room for a few years which decided it didn't want to run Windows anymore. No matter what I swapped around on the motherboard it wouldn't have it.
Having used knoppix to get out of sticky situation with my new PC I thought why not give it a try on the old one, and it worked!
Running a Windows XP install on the PC gives a blue screen of death. And yet knoppix runs fine and will read and write to hard disks and floppys with no problems.
So my first question is - any ideas whats wrong with the PC?
And the second quetion is has anyone succesfully installed knoppix onto a hard disk? As at the mo it runs things like Open Office rather slow which I'm assuming is because its all coming from the CDROM.
Being a complete windows user means that the FAQ answer:
--1.) initialize a free partition with the ext2 file system and mount it on
-- /mnt/knoppix, for example.
--2.) cp -a /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/knoppix/
--3.) set up /mnt/knoppix/etc/fstab and /mnt/knoppix/etc/lilo.conf for the
-- new system (Caution: symlinks in /boot initially point to the Ram-
-- disk!), run lilo
--4.) mkdir /mnt/knoppix/home/knoppix && \
-- chown knoppix.knoppix /mnt/knoppix/home/knoppix
--5.) Reboot, try the system out, fix any broken settings.

Is cobbledecook to me (especially ext2 and (3.))
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
