Hi,

I'm making progress with the Knoppix 3.8.1 installation. I can now
see my systemless hdd on the KDE desktop and a few files left behind
when the disk was wiped.

The 4 Gig hdd shows up as three partitions: hda1, hda5 and hda6. I've
made them writable.

I run knoppix-installer from the console and it tells me the hard disk
is unprepared, and would I like it to partition the disk. I tell it OK,
and up comes:

Warning: Unable to open /UNIONFS/dev/hdc/ read-write (Read-only
file system).
/UNIONFS/dev/hdc has been opened read only.

At the same time, QTParted is launched. It detects my hda partitions and
how much space they contain. It also gives a report on the hdc partition (686 MB).

So...where do I find hdc? Once I've made it writable, will the installer
be able to continue?

Thanks for your advice!
