Installing without running knoppix
Hi!
Is it possible to install Knoppix via the script without running it itself?
Explanation: I don't have a burner here, so I have to mount the image and install it on hdd, if that works...
regards
Jeriko

You will need to 'run' knoppix for the hardware detection, and setup. There are several ways that you should be able to run knoppix from an image on your hd, do some searching around here for info on that.
You will have to install to a different partition than the one you are using to run knoppix.

Salve Rock,
sorry, but there isn't a solution here how to run the Iso directly.
If you know it how, please be so kind, take some minutes and write
it down for the Docs-Wiki.
So image to have the iso on one ext3 partiton like
/mnt/hda3/Knoppix.iso
the knoppix boot.img can be mounted like
mount boot.img /mnt/floppy.loop -o loop -t vfat
cp /mnt/floppy.loop/* /mnt/hda3
I would copy /etc/lilo.conf to /mnt/hda3/lilo.conf
what is needed to change in lilo.conf to boot Knoppix.iso?
(than lilo -C /mnt/hda3/lilo.conf)
Greetings

PS: I don't mean to copy extracted files from KNOPPIX, this
would need more than > 2,5 GB space! I will know a way to boot
the iso directly from hd, without a CD-Rom

I'm going from memory, but if you are running windows copy the KNOPPIX directory from the iso to your C:\ drive (you'll need some way to get into the iso, such as isobuster or winiso from what I've read). Then you will have a c:\KNOPPIX directory with the compressed knoppix image, the two boot-images, rawrite2 and some batch files, some graphic files and some html stuff. Then boot with the proper knoppix boot floppy and it should find and use c:\KNOPPIX as your cd-rom. Note: you will not be able to write to this device (partition) as knoppix thinks it is running from a CD and the filesystem will be read-only. Also note: if you put the KNOPPIX directory in another place (not in c:\) you will have to change the startup stuff (syslinux config) on your boot floppy.
I just found a thread, look near the bottom, he is doing it with a different tool, but http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=519

Salve Rock,
thanks - last night I found a way how to run Knoppix from CD,
copy the /dev/cdrom to /dev/hda3 and configure LILO to boot
Knoppix from HD without a bootdisc
Will post here when my explaination is ready.
Because of I don't use M$ anymore I was not so interested in
the C:\ way
Would you like to write about the M$ way for
http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/FaqHdBased?
