− | You CAN install newer versions of Knoppix on harddisk, if you wish,
| + | {{delete|out of date}}--[[User:Werner P. Schulz|Werner P. Schulz]] 04:57, 22 February 2012 (MST) |
− | though installation is not required for productive use. If you want to
| + | |
− | do this, you should just make sure there is some empty space on your
| + | |
− | harddrive so you can create at least 2 Linux partitions, one for the
| + | |
− | System (for Knoppix, minimal approx. 3 GB) and about minimal 200MB for [[http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory Swap]] during the
| + | |
− | installation process. It is VERY important that the swap space partition is of type "Linux Swap space" (or equivelent"). A partitioning program is integrated in the knoppix-installer.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | It´s recommend to use 5 GB for root partition and 400 MB for swap partition.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ''(NOTE: Be sure the root partition is the first partition on the drive, is formatted with ext2 or ext3, and is set to "active." The swap partition must be formatted with "linux-swap." Installation and subsequent booting will not continue otherwise.)''

− | | + | |
− | You should get Knoppix version 3.4 or later and type '''sudo knoppix-installer''' in the shell if you want to do this.
| + | |
− | Please ALWAYS make sure that you have a working backup of your important data prior to
| + | |
− | experimenting with ANY new software, no matter if Windows, Linux or
| + | |
− | anything else. Have a look here for more info about [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo sudo]].

− | In knoppix-installer, arrow keys move focus and space bar selects options.

− | | + | |
− | Note: Do '''not''' use "knx-hdinstall" anymore. "knx-hdinstall" is no longer maintained, use "knoppix-installer" instead.

− | Once knoppix is installed on a hard disk, it's no longer a Knoppix;-) it's a
| + | |
− | uncompressed complete Debian GNU/Linux.

− | echo dpkg-repack --root=/KNOPPIX "$i"
| + | |
− | done
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | to create packages from a running KNOPPIX CD to a writable harddisk
| + | |
− | partition, and install/update these packages with dpkg -i.
