knoppix liveCD install works great, HD install not so good
 

Hi-

I tried the Knoppix LiveCD on my laptop and it worked great- automatically detected all my hardware. I like it so much, I went ahead and did a full hard drive install, and it doesn't work nearly as well. I had to manually mount my external hard drive and haven't gotten my networking or hotplug to work yet. I can still boot to the liveCD and everything works perfectly.

Is there a slick way that I can get my hard drive install to run the same autodetect boot sequence as the liveCD?

thanks in advance,
stephanie

not sure but you could try copying your fstab from the live cd to you fstab on your hd install..keep in mind I have no idea what Im doing in linux.....

the knoppix site has lots of good info spattered around, and hard to find.

If you are using 3.4 , I think some of those issues are addressed in the fixed iso they put out yesterday. ( 5/10/04 )

By-the-way.... Did anyone happen to notice the /boot/grub directory with iso9660 support in it? That should mean that you can make a grub boot menu on cdrom. I have already done this using the grub iso9660 that comes with RIP linux.
