YES! just less than one hour, you were right. THANKS!

Perhaps KK should add a mention of knx-hdinstall in the FAQ on the cdrom.

I only met one difficulty with knx-hdinstall - the passwords I typed for root and knoppix were accepted but when I started up for real, they were not recognised! The menu interface to knx-hdinstall is a bit sticky... Fortunately by now I have learnt how to use the cdrom as rescue disk:

sudo su - to become root
mount the knoppix hd partition
chroot to the mount point

and then use "passwd" to fix passwords of root and knoppix
