Greetings ....

I've managed an HDD install of Knoppix 3.2
onto the second hard drive in a 2 HDD system
on a 5 year old 250 MHz Compaq with 192 MB
of memory ....

The target hdb install disk was pre-partitioned
using qtparted from the System Rescue CD ( SRCD ) ....

The install was a bit rocky in spots, but eventually
completed successfully and most everything I've tried
seems to work ....

Rocky spots ....

o Had to fdisk /mbr from Win98_SE start-up disk
to be able to boot up at all ....

o Dual booting with Win98_SE on hda and knx-3.2 on hdb
requires using the knx-boot-floppy ....

However, I've since read another post on this forum
that suggests changing the boot order in the BIOS
may alleviate this problem ....

o Install would not complete when choosing the option
to use the swap file, even though I had a swap file
pre-partitioned and marked as such using qtparted ....

I haven't read the docs yet as to how to activate it,
but hopefully, it will be simple to configure ????

Questions ....

o Is it possible/feasible to update this knx-3.2 installation
to the latest knx-3.4 version on-line without
a [ Download --> CD --> HDD_Instal ] cycle ????

o I've managed to get Kmail up and running,
but would like to find Knews as well .....

Knews doesn't show up in the Kpackage list,
and I also tried apt-get un-successfully ....

I did find a Knews source distribution
and tried compiling from source,
but the compile fails ....

I'm sure this is due to my improper settings
in a couple of the Knews config files related
to libjpeg and libpng libraries, and can be fixed,
but it would be nice to find a magic-bullet way
to install it if there is one ....

Any clues / suggestions / comments are welcome ....
