Knoppix will install to the partitions you choose for /swap and / no problems at all. When you get to point of cfdisk being launched to partition the drive just quit the program and continue with the install and select your previously created partitions. note: the partitions you install on will be formatted so make sure you are choosing the right ones.Quote:

bum, and just when i finished modifying knx-hdinstall to support /boot partition. damn u fabian *shakes fist* :P. guess i will download n look at it, maybe i can enhance this one too :D
i havent looked at the script yet but there should be an option to allow everyone to mount the cdrom and floppy. At least in 3-3-2003 hdinstall, u cannot. so maybe have an option like "do you want everyone to be able to mount cdrom and floppy?" and then u only need to add umask=000 and its done :). I like that idea
OK, I just tried knoppix-installer from a root Konsole. I got to the point of partitioning hda2 as type linux and hda3 as type linux swap. I wrote the partition table and quit cfdisk. Then I had no other option but to quit knoppix-installer. What's wrong here?
TIA,
Am I the only one who can't get knoppix-installer to finish installing anything???
TIA,
OK, well if the only benefit of knoppix-installer over knx-hdinstall is that it invokes qtparted instead of or in addition to cfdisk, I'll just use qtparted and/or cfdisk before knxhdinstall and install that way....
Regards,
I used it yesterday. I already had my partitions so I skipped that. I choose the first option from the menu 'create new configuration'. It asked some questions and did it's thing and reported it was finished. I then quited and opened the /ramdisk/home/knoppix/.knofig file as root. There are all the install options, well commented. I edited them to suit my needs and saved. Then I started knoppix-installer again. This time I choose the (I think) the third option: 'install from existing configuration' or something. And away it went.Quote:

And oh I had to run netcardconfig when finished, the other installer did that for me. And something is wrong with the fonts in GTk apps, but with the search on this forum I could fix that (and it is not something I can blame the installer for).
All in all, great piece of work Fabian!
I only get 2 options: cfdisk or quit. How do I get more menu options? Am I doing something wrong?
Anyway, this is all moot as I used knx-hdinstall already and everything works fine. Last time I used knx-hdinstall (a long time ago in V3.1), I don't think much of my hardware was left configured. This time everything worked "right out of the box!" All I had to do was configure my printer with http://localhost:631.

Hmm, are we talking about the same CD? Or are those whales in a funny mood again ;-)Quote:

2.Start installation
3.Partition
4.Load Config
5.Save Config
6.Quit
I just repeated the procedure to copy the menu verbatim.
I wonder what's happening here...
