When I used Knoppix I found it to be the best Linux distro since it reckognized all of my laptop hardware like my external hard drive connected via PC card firewire. Also I like the standard configuration of KDE a lot.

This convinced me of installing Knoppix to HD. But I was really surprised to see none of the hardware auto configuration working after hdinstall.

Is it possible to include knoppix-autoconfig somewhere in the boot process so that the HD installation gets configured exactly the same way as the Knoppix CD?

I have searched here on this website and I have also googled a bit. I am sorry if I am missing something. Any hint to RTFM would be just fine.

I am just surprised that this topic doesn't seem to be that important or why isn't it covered in the docs? To me, the auto configuration is the most important reason to switch over to Knoppix and I would guess that this is just the same for many users who either don't have the time or the Linux experience to figure out all that stuff on their own. And I am also pretty sure that you wouldn't want to run Knoppix from CD all the time, would you?
