knoppix 3.4 hdinstall

after su to root i tried: knx-hdinstall

but it dosent work...anything im missing here? Also iwill i be able to hdinstall with lang=us ?

Thanks!

knx-install is not present in knoppix 3.4 cebiut edition. The newer knoppix-installer script is, however it is missing some files.

You could try this-

google for knx-templates.0.39.tgz and download them to /home/knoppix. Untar them into a folder.

su
cp /usr/sbin/knoppix-installer /home/knoppix/whatever folder_you_untarred_the_files_to
cd /home/knoppix/whatever folder_you_untarred_the_files_to
./knoppix-installer

You can set it to English in KDE the first time you boot.

I should have a custom CD available that defaults to English and has both installer scripts in a few days.

Thanks man! Looking forward for your release..Just made a hdinstall of Overclockix one word AWESOME!

I have high hopes for this next iso. I'm starting from a clean slate (so hopefully I can avoid bugs in the KDE menu) and there seems to be oodles of space for me to add things. Also, I get to tweak on gnome as it's included, and I think enlightenment is as well. So that's a solid 5 or 6 window managers / desktop environments for me to tinker with.

It looks like the 2.6.1 kernel still needs some work- I can't add nvnet or forcedeth drivers to it until the knoppix developers upgrade to a more current kernel. They have ported their own cloop module (compression type the iso uses) specifically for 2.6, but I don't know enough right now to attempt to compile my own 2.6.2 kernel with nforce support and cloop.

Luckily this iso has both a 2.6 and a 2.4 kernel, so nforce support for the 2.4.23 kernel is already done on the iso I'm buildiing.

Other things I'm working in- extra widgets accessible in the kde right-click menu, some sweet karamba/superkaramba themes, scripts to run seti windows client in wine.


Some other new things in this release-

memtest cheatcode - launches memtest instead of linux when running from CD

captive NTFS- lets you import NTFS.sys and NTSKRNL.exe to do write support for NTFS filesystem

Kilck- Interface for installing some software to ramdisk while running live from the CD.

Sounds great! Let us know your progress as it goes man!
