knx-hdinstall removed! knoppix-installer busted!

[lavaman094]

After reading here, I'm about to check out knx2hd. If it is simply a link to knoppix-installer, that is sort of a problem, because the program requires KDE. Knx-hdinstall seemed run command line, with graphical dialogs if running with KDE and ncurses ones if X wasn't running. And I have been trying to set up a remaster without KDE, but still able to install to HD.

I'm a little conflicted on the move from cfdisk to QTparted. QTparted allows nondestructive resizing of partitions--which is a big plus. But running parted at the command line is nowhere near as intuitive as cfdisk.

It would also be a problem because the removal the the original and only working installer (for me) is a blocker type of problem.

What's really tricky about all this is that the faq's all say to use the old method to install. Nothing about the new way, seems if they're gonna change the way you install then the instructions might need an upgrade as well. Not in this post but in others you're simply told to RTFM, oh how helpful that is. Even directly above this on the "Post a Reply" page it states..."read the documentation first Failing to do so may result in you getting no replies..." some of the replies we could probably do without.
