Knoppix cheat codes, I have no idea?
The hdinstall how-to would have been even better if it explained a bit about each step. E.g. file system, heck if I know which one I want. Another example the cfdisk thing, took me at least 6 different tries before I had two partitions it liked. Now my root account seems to do what I need, but the user account gets loaded with no hd mounted. And I've read somewhere not to run it as root so we'll see.

Anyway, thanks for your help.
