Persistent CD - How
Hi, Just started with Knoppix. Using the live CD I have installed it to a usb hard drive. (10GB fat 32- 450GB ext4) My main OS Debian 6.0.2.1 I have now discovered that I can't run it on the wife's computer! Have searched the web and all I can find is this tohd cheat code Insert and start with the CD. At the boot prompt, type "knoppix tohd=". For example if you have space in sda2, type "knoppix tohd=/dev/sda2. Knoppix will create a folder called "KNOPPIX" in the disk you chose and you will be asked to create persistent memory. After this Knoppix runs from hard drive; the CD can be removed. The disk partition used can be a Linux format such as ext3 but can also be fat32, but not ntfs. See also Cheat Codes. At the next boot, you can save some steps by using the cheat code: "knoppix fromhd=. This procedure has been called the "poor man installation". Caution: It isn't the same as "poor man harddrive installation". Some people select 'Preferences/ Install KNOPPIX to flash disk' and do the installation not only on an flash device but also on a partiton of a harddrive and call it "poor man harddrive installation". This installation uses Syslinx to boot but you need Knoppix CD to boot "poor man installation". Using the live CD at the boot prompt I entered a) knoppix tohd=/dev/sdb b) knoppix tohd=/dev/sdb1 In both cases I wasn't anything and the cd loaded as normal. In simple terms can anyone help please?
