Should be deleted, "Installation of older Knoppix to HDD" is a better mirror page

Described installation was tried on Dannix (Knoppix CZ) 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.

mke2fs /dev/hda1                     - initialization of the device
mkdir /mnt/hda1                      - creating of the mounting point
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1    - mounting of the device
cp -a /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/hda1           - copy of needed files
cp /etc/fstab /mnt/hda1/etc          - copy "fstab" file to new system location
chroot /mnt/hda1                     - 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

mkdir /dev/shm                       - create 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

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

Reboot Knoppix

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.
