how to install knoppix (HD install)

[galaxy]

hey,

i'm using knoppix (live cd) for some time and I want to install some programs, but almost every program says that it can't write to the filesystem (probably because these files are on the cd).

I think that your problem may be caused by the read-only mounting of the hard disk.
In fact, when knoppix is booted from the cd, by default it mounts all the found hd partitions in read-only mode, to avoid any accidental damage to the stored data.
You can enable writing to the hard disk by remounting the partition in read-write mode: simply right click on the partition icon in the desktop, and select the menu command "remount in read-write mode" or "change write flag" (or something like that, i don't remember it exactly).
