How to install Knoppix on small HDD (1GB) ?

[Dave_Bechtel]

--You could partition the drive like so:
o hda1 = 1 cylinder (4-8MB) FAT16 (boot)
o hda2 = 701+MB FAT32 (has to be a little more than 700MB for filesystem overhead)
o hda3 = 128MB swap (type 82)
o hda4 = ext3 (rest of drive) - should be 200MB or more, for persistent home

--Then boot knoppix cd in runlevel 2 ' knoppix 2 '
o ' dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda1 ' == Clear partition
o ' dd if=/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.img of=/dev/hda1 ' == Dump boot floppy image to partition
o ' activate /dev/hda 1 ' == Boot from boot floppy image

--Poor man's install on hda2:
o ' mkdosfs -c -F 32 -v /dev/hda2 ' == Format
o ' mkdir /mnt/hda2 '
o ' mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 -onoatime,rw ' == Mount Fat32
o ' mkdir /mnt/hda2/knoppix '
o ' cp /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX /mnt/hda2/knoppix ' == Copy big knoppix file from CD to msdos partition

--Swap:
o ' mkswap -c /dev/hda3 '
o ' swapon /dev/hda3 ' == Format and turn on swap

--Persistent home setup:
o ' mkfs.ext3 -c -j -m1 -v /dev/hda4 '

--Using persistent home is beyond the scope of this document. (I've never used it.) Just search the board for it.

--Now the boot image on hda1 can be mounted, and you can modify the syslinux.cfg file for whatever cheatcodes you normally use on boot. Once the active flag is set on partition 1, it will reboot from HD into poor man's install AND you have space left over for PH. Such is the beauty of Knoppix.

Hi. is it possible to install Knoppix from CD to HDD 1 GB just with some software? i.e. I don't need both OpenOffice and KOffice(one of them is enuough), I don't need all those games and other stuff etc. Just system, gui and most important applications. Best regards.
