Wow
please tone down your text! Um...what computer are you trying to install Knoppix to? ram,etc you didnt use "toram" at boot did you? |
i had the same problem yesterday and finally let the installer do it automatic.
|
Please clarify j1alu:
did you let the installer take the whole disk or just a partition? |
sorry.
i ran install to hard-disk from the menu. there have been several options: 4. i tried all of them, including running gparted, and finally let him take the whole hard-disk. it was not an easy decision as i just had configured the allready installed OS. im still wondering why the other options dont work.i never had such a problem. another problem i had: after installing it it still was in the manner of a live-cd: -autologin -the live-cd user called knoppix -some other things i forgot :) you got experience with installing knoppix? It was the lxde-version with only a few apps and compiz up and running, but i completely screwed it when upgrading...Its great as a live for me, but i never really get it on my hard-disk. so if you got some tips how to move around those problems, im all ears. greetings |
Meaning it did not "install" to hd like Ubuntu,etc?
Did it just put the KNOPPIX folder,etc on hd? and then you tried upgrading via synaptic? and upgrade didnt work? I put it on USB so far with a few issues http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...iew...-770085/ |

-i dont know how exactly the knopix installer does work, if it puts folders from here to there or what. -i upgraded with synaptic, it didnt work. afterwards compiz was gone, themes were removed, etc. and i had a ton of error-messages. i did the usual troubleshooting, finally, after 1 hour, i had no internet no more. i did never upgrade with synaptic and will never do it again. putting it on a stick might be an idea. |

I can see putting it on a usb drive/flash drive, but why anyone would want to install it to a hard drive has never made any sense. Knoppix has always been designed and built as a LiveCD. |
for me the answer is easy:
it came with a only a few apps and compiz and sound were running out of box. i like compiz, i dont like troubleshooting, so i have thought i would just install it and be done with it. your quote has cleared the problems up. on another note: putting virtualbox on a live-cd is a bit, say, unusual. for me, might be others can find a use for it. if i would have read before i would have spared me that kinda trouble... |
