Result #1 is an incomplete number of icons installed in the kicker bar. Result #2 is that it displays "Welcome to Kanotix hdd installation" (or whatever the heck it is) on startup.
  • There's two things trying to initialize the network. (Still trying to figure out how to fix this one.) Resulting messages during boot:

    Setting up networking....done.
    [...]
    Configuring network interfaces....ifup: Interface is already configured
    failed to connect to localhost: bootpc: Network is unreachable
    There might be another pump running!
    done
I had a feeling that the HD installer might be a issue for 3.9, so I did a HD install just as a test today at work. I too had the Kanotix message & noticed that the NIC was not properly configured. I had to manually run netcardconfig to get it to make eth0 grab a address via dhcp. I thought that was odd but I am willing to think of that as an odd quirk of our work network.

As for the HD installer, Since so many people complain about the HD installer, he was thinking of removing it http://archives.free.net.ph/message/...3a8d93.en.html. Since 3.8.2 Knoppix devs decided to use the Kanotix HD installer script which is more reliable than the original install script http://archives.free.net.ph/message/...919546.en.html. I figure that the script's detection routine (Is this Kanotix or is this Knoppix?) might be a bit messed up and now thinks that Knoppix 3.9 is Kanotix.

As for problems with the installer, as I am sure you already know, it is a unsupported & alpha quality script. It works but it does not seem to work well.
