hi there

i got a compaq evo200 subnotebook without any external drives, so i tried to install knoppix using another (a dell) laptop and knx-hdinstall. but that didn't work very well because it saved the dell-system-configuration to the harddisk and then consequently didn't boot properly (network card didnt work, most of all) as i placed it back into my evo200.

so, anyone got a good idea what to do?
i was wondering if i couldn't copy the whole cd to the disk and run it like a cd right there - that would make sure all the hardware is autoconfigured properly. - but i couldn't find any how to's, they all use some kind of extra boot disk or something..
why can't i just copy the complete cd data as it is to a blank partition on my hard disk and install it to another one? does the knoppix-cd-content have to be ran from cd?
