How to install Knoppix 3.3

Actually, with 'knoppix-installer' you get two choices: 'Debian Style' and 'Knoppix Style' -- Debian style being the hard disk install and Knoppix style being an installation that runs like the live-CD.

I have never tried knx-hdinstall but have used knoppix-installer around seven times now. It is by far (to me, at least) the easiest and most reliable Linux installation I have ever experienced

Thanks for the quick response. I never used 'knoppix-installer' but I just read two another posts and both do confirm your description. If you used it seven times and worked for you, I am confident it will work for me too. Thanks again.

well, knoppix-installer was made to replace knx-hdinstall (which is no longer mantained). It offers the same options, and more. So there is no real reason to use knx-hdinstall...

I had used knx-hdinstall back in 3.2, and that's how I got my current Knoppix/Debian setup.

I remember that there was something that I found confusing about it (but I can't put my finger on it).

It also didn't give me the choice of filesystem I wanted to use -- just ext3.

my question...

I know back in the knx-hdinstall days you could use teh flag alsa to install alsa as opposed to OSS.

Is there such an option with the new installer? I'm also wondering if/how this will be rewritten once the 2.6 kernel becomes stable which has alsa support built into it (seeing how OSS is becoming depreciated)
