Installation of older Knoppix to HDD

- 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:

 	/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

- Run "mkdir /dev/shm" to create of needed directory

- Modify "/etc/lilo.conf" file:

	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

- 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.
