I am now confirmed as a Linux fan, windows banished completely on laptop and desktop.
Now I have a question, I have read that it is possible to have seperate partitions for /var /opt /home /. How does one do this with a fresh empty hard disk?
Is it prefereable to make partitions before installing Linux?
like
/
/var
/opt
/home
then run the installation?
Hi,
no idea, but you can do this after the installation.
It would be a nice option during the installation to be able to select partitions for eg /home /usr /root ...
Perhaps it could be integrated in knoppix-installer.
mfg apo :D
Excuse my ignorance.
You mean to say that even though I have a current installation, with a /home directory that I can make a a new partition, call it home, move all my data from the current /home directory?
Can I then delete the current /home?
Nothing else to do?
That would be interesting, but how does Linux know where /home is afterwards?
Hi Buttersoft,

Thanks Martin, Perfect - just the info I needed.
qt-parted is a great program to partition a new drive -- either for use to prep a Knoppix HD install or for other uses such as building your own external HD. So many good uses for Knoppix, I love it.
there is real lack of simple steps for a newbie! :roll:
problem here is it assumes you have installed knoppix, i just want to use QtParted to re partition a drive with windoze,using live knoppix CD
