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.

'''mke2fs /dev/hda1'''                    - initialization of the device

  /dev/hda1    /   ext2 noatime 0 1
+
  none          /proc   proc defaults 0 0

'''mkdir /dev/shm"                        - create needed directory

'''lilo'''                                - write 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
+
'''mkswap /dev/hda2'''                    - setting up /dev/hda2 as swap device
+

The Knoppix system is now installed on your HDD and you can run it as root user.
+
 
+
=== Run Knoppix OS as a different user (not root)===
+
 
+
Run Root Console
+
 
+
'''adduser'''                              - create new user
+
      .
+
      .
+
 
+
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 "'''%UserName%'''", where '''%UserName%''' is the user name of created user.
+
 
+
This change will allow you to run  Root Console.
+
 
+
Reboot Knoppix.
