Installing Knoppix 3.8 to Your Hard Drive (Flash)

**Irongeek** · 05-25-2005, 10:34 PM

Well, I normally do security videos, and this is not exactly a security video, but it still may be useful to some. I created a Flash Animation of how to install Knoppix 3.8 to your hard drive. It’s 3.75MB in size. You can find it at:

Hope it’s of use to some of you. It’s a great way to get a Linux box up and running fast. I illustrate how to add extra tools after the install by setting up Dsniff on the box. Enjoy. It may still have some bugs, email me if you find any major ones.

That was great! How about showing a dual-boot install with a existing NTFS partition?

At some point maybe. Does Knoppix come with a tool for resizing an active partition?

Dear Irongeek,
you did a very very nice work. I am wondering, what program do you use in order to produce this fine and informative videos? (I asking you because I am teacher and I need methodes like this but I have not found the proper tools-programs. Please be a little be specific because I am newbie at this field...)

Best Regards,
Mike Kranidis

I used VNC to get the display to a windows box, then I used CamStudio 2 (the Open Source version thats hard to find now) to capture the video. I then use VirtualDub and Flash MX to put it all together. I grab the audio with Audacity. You can find a link to CamStudio in the credits section of the Knoppix tutorial.
