Multibooting - NEWBIE!
I run WinXP as standard and want to dual boot to a hard drive install of Knoppix 3.7. I also boot to RH9 which is via GRUB and works great! I have 2 problems ...
1/Knoppix is only bootable via a LILO floppy, can the RH grub be used to boot Knoppuix? What/where/how do I change this please? 2/Knoppix defaults to 1024 when I want 1280 resolution, manually I cannot choose 1280 as 1024 is the max displayed - the monitor can run 1280 in Windows. What/where/how do I change this please? I'm a 5+ yr Windows user so please bear with me (I may need some assistance). Thanks in advance, Paul. |
As su in a terminal use the following to configure your monitor settings
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 Follow the steps it will write a file. It will change to the new settings when xserver restarts. Sls |
To add knoppix to grub you will need to edit in Red Hat /boot/grub/menu.lst
You will need to add a similar example as below The kernel entry needs to point to the kernel installed in /boot on knoppix and root to the device it is installed on and the same with the initrd entry title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-1-686 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-686 savedefault boot Sls |

Now I have a new problem, since loading to Hard Drive, Knoppix has lost the sound? I have run soundcard configuration but to no evail. |
...oh and it seems to have reverted to German language?

Hi
Which kernel are you using with Knoppix? To change the default language if I remember right, there is a flag on the bottom panel if you click it you can select US. If not you will need to start the control centre and select regional settings and change it there. Sls |
Hi - It's 3.7 Knoppix with 2.6.9, I tried the flag but when I attempt to use office it's in German?
It's quite good fun playing with Linux thus far :newbie: |
Hi
Have a look at this link for sound on the 2.6.8 kernel may help http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=272496 Not sure about openoffice in German though. Sls |
