Hi all,
I just read in the "Hd Install HowTo" that I should
' ... Be sure the root partition is among the first 4 partitions on the drive, formatted with ext2 or ext3, and is set to "active." ...'
I did a HD install quite some time ago (Knoppix V3.8 ) and it's root partition *is* in fact located on a logical partition (i.e. hdb13) and works flawlessly.

Is this a new constraint? What are the issues with installing on a logical partition (if any)?

The point is that I do not want to change the partition table, KNOPPIX is only intended to be used for a couple of weeks, after that I'm going to install a "real" HD distro, but I do not have time for this now, but as I need additional SW I do need the HD install.

Any hints?

Greetings & cheers
