I am doing my install using the knoppix-installer script and my nephew is doing the same on his computer. I see all 6 options in the install menu but my nephew, doing his, sees only two: Partition and Quit in the install choices menu. After going through the partition routine, he is told "Opened disk read-only, you have no permission to write."

He is doing a fresh install of Knoppix only on a hard drive that has no OS installed at all although it was formatted, likely with windows, to wipe out what had been on it before.

Can someone give me a hint where we are getting off track?

Thanks.
