    Installing knoppix to hard drive

    Hello. I am brand new to Knoppix. I am trying to install Knoppix 3.8.1 to my HD. I run the knoppix-installer script, but when I get down to the partitioning part, cfdisk (I think) tells me that I do not have permission to write to the disk. The hard disk is blank totally with no partitions defined.

    Can anyone give me a detailed description of how to install to my hard disk??

    Thanks.

    I have to restrain myself........ [hard day at work]
    somewhat!

    have you looked ?
    it's
    sudo knoppix-installer

    you need permission, and if you haven't sudo'd you haven't doen it properly

    I am following this install guide/thread (from the terminal, in su mode)

    http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18766

    It is installing right now.

    One question-
    On my hard drive, I know I should have one main partition and one swap.

    Is the main partition primary and the swap logical?
    I am using cfdisk.

    thinx there is some room for linux to cope with three REAL primary drives (?)
    I've set mine to three partitions (not sure why)
    small EXT2 - bootable
    reasonable SWAP
    rest EXT3

    It works well.



    But when I was installing it, it seems to have ignored my swap partition-- the installer said "no swap needed".

    Torgo,

    I believe I get the same errors as you during knoppix-installer.

    I am using an HP Pavilion ze4145 (notebook). Windows XP is installed first (60GB HDD), then I used qtparted to squeeze a 10GB partition for Linux. I first installed Mepis easily, but the desktop was ugly and slow. Now I am trying to install Knoppix 3.8... but ...

    I tried sudo and su with the same error results. I tried the link you provided, too. What was your solution, Torgo?
