HI

Can I install Knoppix and Windows on my Computer like I did with Redhat Linux and Windows 2k?.. Is there any tool like GREP or LILO?.. I am a newbie to this and plz help..

Manu

i use knoppix all the time, are you talking about installing knoppix on your hard drive? knoppix runs from memory/cd by default. so- you wouldn't / shouldn't need to worry about any installation woes?

if you are installing knoppix on your hard drive, all of the same rules apply- you will need a boot loader (LILO is cool)

Yeah dude, I am talking about installing it in my Hard drive.. Just put the Cd in and can boot from it, right.?. . Well, I just wait for u people's comments before doing anything stupid.. Thanks CODER..

Manu

you run that off a cd if you want linux on your HD then install like redhat or some other distro

quote.. ComSec: about knoppix from another thread

Thanks Comsec, I had seen that thread... But still I have some doubts.. Well, I have 40 Gb HDD and Has 30 Gb used for Win 2K... Yup, 10 Gb free space is there, Just put the Knoppix Cd in and Boot from Cd, when it asks you where u wanna install it, Locate the free space.. Thats it, right?.. When I should press this CNTROL, ALT, F1?.. A bit confusion, Umm, needs some straight, may be a bit detailed help.. Well, could u provide some links or Well, just wait comments from friends who have exprience with Knoppix and such topics..

Thankx Coder.. Great.. Will surely help me.. Thanks..

Manu

once the cd has booted to the kde desktop....then press ctrl+Alt+f1

at the shell prompt ....then type... knx-hdinstall

takes you to the partition screen....create one and it will auto install

worked for me and i got the info from above forum after reading about knoppix hd install at another forum...and thought i woud try it...never had one problem running it

Comsec, you are right... I did it.. . Thanks a lot..

no problem...glad you got it sorted

I chose to install it using vmware....that's a pretty cool prog, that way i don't have to keep rebooting to start up linux or vice versa

Comsec, I need ur help once again.. I have given one copy of Knoppix to my friend, he is booting from the Cd.. He says it is not detecting his MODEM, so he is unable to connect to the internet with it.. His modem is Creative Modem Blaster V.90 DI5663 ... What can I do to help him, Download the driver for LINUX or is there any driver for Knoppix?.. Then too, since he is booting from the Cd, how can I configure the MODEM even if I download the driver. Please help, if it not possible, could I install the driver after I installed KNOPIX into hard disk?.. Please help, it is urgent.. Please, all my other friends who use KNOPPIX could help me out here.. If you have links for that MODEM driver, please drop here, I can google, but still I prefer to download from here..

Manu

the only reference to knoppix and CL

were these versions that tested working with knoppix..

i dont think you can get one for v90 unless its the.. blaster ext modem

so its looking like an external modem , i have a robotics ext that was given to me..because my internal modem was no good....perhaps someone has another solution....i will keep looking for solutions ...but its looking bleak ATM

CREATIVE LABS :

submited by KrizaliD CREATIVE LABS Modem Blaster v.92 Serial
have been tested on the version 3.1 : works perfectly

submited by de medio laurent CREATIVE LABS modem blaster external v92 serie
have been tested on the version 3.1 : works perfectly

It is an internal Modem Comsec. Well, so, I cant configure it, right?.. Me too searching for a solution and hope that will fix it soon.. My knoppix version is 3.3 and it works very nice, only problem is Modem... Is there any Hardware Compatibility list available?

Manu

I have always been partial to Local Area Security Linux.

Coder

I am using knoppix-std and i liked it a lot.. Really good man... Thanks a lot.. I must say, knoppix-std is the best among other distro... A million thanks dude...

Manu

Coder, do you have anything to say about my MODEM problem?.. It is not detected automatically, what could I do with that Modem, Well, just find another one that is suitable to Knoppix-std ?... If that is the only way, please give me compatible modem name..

Manu

While I truely love Knoppix (especially the STD version) the limitation is that if it doesn't detect it you are normally SOL. You can futz with the bootup options but that normally just helps avoid problem hardware that is hanging the system. You can create your own custom Knoppix CD with the right drivers but that's not that easy.

Or you can do a hard drive install and then update the drivers on the HD (or update the Kernel if need be).

Packet,

I was thinking the same way you wrote.. But, it will be better to ask about people who know about it before doing something stupid.... It will only help when I go to fix it, So, thanks a lot man... Just wait for all our friends comments on this matter...
