+
- Described installation was tried on Dannix (CZ Knoppix) from 3.7. 2003
+
 
+
- Boot Knoppix CD
+
 
+
- Run Root Console
+
 
+
- Use "fdisk" to create two primary partitions. Larger for OS (for example /dev/hda1
+
as type 83 Linux) and smaller for swap (for example /dev/hda2 as type 82 Linux Swap).
+
Don't forget to set up bootable attribute "a" to /dev/hda1.
+
 
+
- Run "mke2fs /dev/hda1" for initialization of the device
+
 
+
- Run "mkdir /mnt/hda1" for creation of the mounting point
+
 
+
- Run "mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1" for mounting of the device
+
 
+
- Run "cp -a /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/hda1" to copy of needed files
+
 
+
- Run "cp /etc/fstab /mnt/hda1/etc" to copy "fstab" file to new system location
+
 
+
- Run "chroot /mnt/hda1" for moving to interactive shell
+
 
+
- Modify "/etc/fstab" file:
+
<pre>
+
/dev/hda2 none   swap sw 0 0
+
/dev/hda1 /   ext2 noatime 0 1
+
+
none /proc   proc defaults 0 0
+
none /dev/shm  tmpfs defaults 0 0
+
 
+
/dev/cdrom /cdrom   auto noauto,user 0 0
+
/dev/fd0 /floppy   auto noauto,user, umask=000 0 0
+
</pre>
+
 
+
- Run "mkdir /dev/shm" to create of needed directory
+
 
+
- Modify "/etc/lilo.conf" file:
+
<pre>
+
lba32
+
boot=/dev/hda
+
prompt
+
delay=50
+
vga=normal
+
default=DaNiX
+
 
+
image=/vmlinuz
+
append="lang=us apm=power-off"
+
root=/dev/hda1
+
label=DaNiX
+
read-write
+
</pre>
+
 
+
- Run "lilo" for writing of new informatin to MBR
+
 
+
- Modify "/etc/init.d/*xsession" file. Find "USER=knoppix" and change it to "USER=root"
+
(aproximately 5th line)
+
 
+
- Reboot Knoppix and then boot it from HDD (NOT from CD!!!)
+
 
+
- Run Root Console
+
 
+
- Run "mkswap /dev/hda2" for setting up /dev/hda2 as swap device
+
 
+
- Reboot Knoppix
+
 
+
- The Knoppix system is now installed on your HDD and you can run it as root user.
+
 
+
- If you want to run Knoppix OS as a different user (not root), create it (run "adduser").
+
 
+
- Modify "/etc/init.d/*xsession" file. Find "USER=root" and change it to "USER=%UserName%" (aproximately 5th line), where %UserName% is the user name of created user.
+
 
+
- Run "visudo" to modify "/etc/sudoers". There you have to find and change "knoppix" to "USER=%UserName%", where %UserName% is the user name of created user. This change will allow you to run Root Console.
+
 
+
- Reboot Knoppix.
