HD install 4.0: openoffice and samba does not work

[rotbart]

I have installed knx 4.0 on HD in beginners mode.
It looks quite good, but openoffice and samba do not work.

starting Openoffice, it works for a while and then it dies silently whithout showing any response.
Looks like something is missing

Samba-server starts, but the second window asking if all drives should be shared r/w does not
appear. So in WIN only the workgroup and the Server shows up, but no shared drive. How can I call
this window?

The Linux partition has a size of 19 GB and the swap 600 MB

Any hint to fix this?

Your problems with a HD install in not unusual. Read the HD Install Howto and see why we recommend to not install Knoppix to the HD. And if you so choose to install Knoppix to the HD, see also HD Install: Types of installation for why the Debian method is the preferred method.

For a visual walkthrough of the Knoppix 4.0 HD install (which I personally do not recommend) see http://www.virtualacuity.com/james/k...-other/knop40/

**EDIT** You will probably not see much help unless someone else also has a beginner HD install of the 4.0 DVD.

First of all I tried the Debian type, but I felt myself thrown back into the stone age'' . Nothing is installed, just the kernel.....
No help for installation (YAST?)
I am not the command line freak and I am Knoppix fan because this fine and intelligent Hardware detection works really fine
and helps me to overcome the pitfalls of learning, searching and doing all that hardware and driver configuration.

I kicked away SUSE cause it left off to much questions after installation. For what I have to know which Graphic chip I use when knoppix is able to detect it? Knoppix is the evidence that all this detections are possible..
The live CD/DVD if knx works nearly perfect and I do not understand why the same comfort should not work on HD?

I have the strong feeling that for the experts it is a matter of honour, not to use the automatic detections and to clicki-clacki
all that stuff for yourself. The same reason for that some people do not want to drive cars with automatic gearcase.

I just want to work with Linux, not to research it!

Nevertheless I hope that someone in the forum will understand me and can give me - I think - some simple hints.

Thanks in advance for that
