copying Knoppix to Hard Drive

[beajedi]

Ok, so this is what I'm going to do:

tar -cvvf /mnt/hda2/knx/source/knoppix.tar /KNOPPIX/

and then I extract it, then it should work, no?

**NEW**

I just tried the tar thing, and it still doesn't work.

Might it be because of the way I'm mounting my hard drive in the /mnt/ directory?

I'm doing "mount -o rw /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2/"

I FIGURED IT OUT

before you start copying, I had to make sure that my linux partition was the ext2 linux filesystem.

I did this by typing in

"#mke2fs /dev/hdaX" where X is your partition

After I did that, everything was Kosher when I copied the files over! I think this process should be mentioned in the remastering FAQ

You said that these partition was linux filesystem type .....

[beajedi]

it is, isn't it? its a linux ext2

Whats the difference?
