Successful install

The same goes for other things like my USB reader, I have to compile a new kernel for that under linux. Or my digital camera, or scanner.

You joke, surely? My USB reader works fine under Linux (Zio!) and Knoppix autocofigured and set up my scanner (Mustek BearPaw). My Canon Ixus 3 used to work fine as root (until I completely messed up the configuration trying to non-root it -- now I use the USB reader). In no case has a kernel recompile been necessary.

Looks like you're running some pretty strange hardware........

"It's complaints like this that make me wonder what people expect and why they don't just do a little reading first."

A little reading? I've been reading this site for days and I am far from illiterate. Whatever you think is obviously in front of our faces, isn't. I have just managed to create a partition by erasing my entire hard drive (which I hadn't intended to do, but I am backed up, so it's OK). There was supposed to be the option to create a new one, but when I hit 'n' nothing happenned, so 'delete' was apparently my only option. Now I have an empty hard drive and a disk and no idea how to get the knoppix from the disk to the hard drive. And the floppy by itself is so flaky it's scary.
I'll keep looking. I'm sure the information is there somewhere. Why it isn't all in one place, and in normal English, is beyond me.

You don't need cfdisk. I find it painless when using knoppix-installer to run qtparted from a root shell first. Then I have no worries, mate!

One question: when I configure printers from the Knopix liveCD or a knoppix-installed as knoppix hdd, everything works great. When installed as debian on a hdd I can't even get http://localhost:631 working.

One more: also, when using the debian hdinstall, I need to pump -i eth0 or netcardconfig everytime I reboot or I have no surfing action! Why is this and what can I do about it? BTW, I have to restart sshd everytime too or forget fish!

TIA,

A. Jorge Garcia,

Are you using dhcp or static ip address for the debian hdinstall?

**A. Jorge Garcia** · 11-06-2003, 12:46 AM

I didn't set up these ip addresses. They are not true internet addresses, so they must be only local static ips.

Regards,

Try running the webbrowser as root on the debian hdd install.
I believe cups requires root access unless it's configured for users.

If you startup with run level 5 just add ssh to /etc/rc5.d
This worked for my debian hdd install:

root# ln -s /etc/init.d/ssh /etc/rc5.d/S20sshd

Hope this helps

Why I asked was because I''ve been able to get the ltsp Terminal Sever (like the KNOPPIX Terminal Server), ftp server, Remote Xserver , & VNC running on my debian hdd install. If your interested maybe I can help.
