    Need Help installing an old knoppix version!

    i need help installing knoppix 3.6 on a completly unformater and blank HD
    here are the step on the cd and none of which i i understand
    "Q: Can one also install the distribution from the CD onto a hard drive?

    A: In principal, yes (after all, the "master" system also runs on a hard
    drive before it is burned to CD). However there is currently no
    installation GUI for this, so installation to a hard drive should probably
    only be attempted by more knowledgeable Linux users. Assuming the KNOPPIX
    system has already booted, installation approximately follows this
    procedure:
    1.) initialize a free partition with the ext2 file system and mount it on
    /mnt/knoppix, for example.
    2.) cp -a /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/knoppix/
    3.) set up /mnt/knoppix/etc/fstab and /mnt/knoppix/etc/lilo.conf for the
    new system (Caution: symlinks in /boot initially point to the Ram
    disk!), run lilo.
    4.) mkdir /mnt/knoppix/home/knoppix && \
    chown knoppix.knoppix /mnt/knoppix/home/knoppix
    5.) Reboot, try the system out, fix any broken settings.
    (No guarantees.)"
    when i try to mount my hd it say there is no file system and i dont know how to put 1 on

    Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.
