=== Questions ===
+
==== Q: Why does "df" not list my root partition ("/")? ====
+
A: The entry for "/" is somehow missing in /etc/mtab. Either edit that file and add a correct line for "/" or better replace /etc/mtab with a link to /proc/mounts, thn everything should be shown.
+
*'''su -c "ln -sf /proc/mounts /etc/mtab"
+
 
+
==== Q: How do I install Knoppix over a Network? ====
+
 
+
A: [[Install Over Net HowTo]]
+
 
+
==== Q: Is there a way that does not use so much space? ====
+
 
+
A: There is the "[[Poor Mans Install]]", where you can copy some files from the CD to the harddisk. It will run like from CD, but the CDROM is free for other use and its a bit faster. Although you'll need a bootfloppy or change the  [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bios Bios] options to boot first the hard disk with Knoppix (i.e. the second hard disk or d: unit).
+
 
+
==== Q: Is there other way that does not use so much space? Perhaps by having a compressed file system? ====
+
 
+
A: Yes, you can install Knoppix in 700 megs instead of 2.3 gigs for the real install, but it will run as if it were from a physical CD, so you cannot install anything, unless you do a 'normal' install. Each time you boot your hardware will need to be redetected. This is not for novices. For more information see the HOWTO for the [[Hd Based HowTo]] hard drive based install.
+
 
+
==== Q: Why doesn't my sound work? ====
+
 
+
A: Just run "/etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig" as [[root]] once and you'll be fixed up nicely. To have the sound levels set at boot (alsa defaults to muted) edit the file "/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh" and add '''aumix -w 75 -v 75''' to the bottom of the file.
+
 
+
==== Q: How do I install the latest Gnome? ====
+
 
+
A: Comment all the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list except the unstable ones.
+
*'''apt-get update
+
*'''apt-get install gnome
+
 
+
In order to have gnome-session working you must execute the following and choose metacity
+
*'''update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
+
 
+
Optionally you can also install gdm, galeon, evolution, etc.
+
 
+
==== Q: how to install knoppix-terminalserver and/or knoppix-terminalopenmosixserver ??? ====
