Well, I am trying to install Knoppix 3.4 on my old 300 MHz computer with 64 MB of RAM. Last weekend I successfully installed Red Hat 9, I believe, but it ran really slow. Whenever I pop in the Knoppix cd it runs fairly well, so I thought I would give it a shot. Anyways, I have a 256 MB(probably overkill) DOS partition --hda1--, which includes the SWAP that linux won't start without due to my low amount of memory. Then, I have a 3000 MB linux partition --hda2-- and a 256 MB linux swap partition --hda5--. All that was created through cfdisk. My problem is when I go to install knoppix...It says the requirements aren't fulfilled. WTF? I have about 3 GB for the linux install, which only requires 2 GB and I have a 256 MB for the linux swap, which only needs 128 MB. I have tried everything to get around this, but it won't work. The closest I have got to the install was by using "IGNORE_CHECK=1 sudo knoppix-installer" and then when it got to the formatting part it said it did not have permission or something. Is there any way I can format this before going into the install? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
