knoppix is designed to run from CD, if you want to run Linux from your hard drive I suggest picking a distro designed to install to a hard disk.

well i have freebsd 5.0 on cd but i have no luck with it the xwindows part and i have knoppix and i dont whant to buy/download something else.
can some on explan this so i can do it there is a part form the faq Q: Can one also install the distribution from the CD onto a hard drive? A: In principal, yes (after all, the "master" system also runs on a hard drive before it is burned to CD). However there is currently no installation GUI for this, so installation to a hard drive should probably only be attempted by more knowledgeable Linux users. Assuming the KNOPPIX system has already booted, installation approximately follows this procedure: 1.) initialize a free partition with the ext2 file system and mount it on /mnt/knoppix, for example. 2.) cp -a /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/knoppix/ 3.) set up /mnt/knoppix/etc/fstab and /mnt/knoppix/etc/lilo.conf for the new system (Caution: symlinks in /boot initially point to the Ram disk!), run lilo. 4.) mkdir /mnt/knoppix/home/knoppix && \ chown knoppix.knoppix /mnt/knoppix/home/knoppix 5.) Reboot, try the system out, fix any broken settings. (No guarantees.) |
