Installation Procedure
\nTo get Knoppix installed onto your hard drive:<\/p>\n
1. Boot the Knoppix CD.<\/p>\n
2. When the boot prompt comes up, choose your language.
\n Most of us speak English, so we’ll type:<\/p>\n
boot: knoppix lang=en<\/p>\n
then press ENTER (you don’t type the ‘boot:’ part, of course)<\/p>\n
3. Wait till the system is fully launched, including the KDE desktop<\/p>\n
4. Press CTRL-ALT-F1, to get a root console. You should see a shell prompt<\/p>\n
5. Type: knx-hdinstall<\/p>\n
6. Follow the guided installation menus. This will include:<\/p>\n
* Creating a Linux partition (at least 2.5GB
\n * Creating a Linux Swap partition (at least 256MB)
\n * ‘Mounting’ the Linux partition as root
\n * Initialising the swap partition
\n * Copying all the required files (automatically)
\n * Setting up networking
\n * Setting passwords
\n * Setting up the bootloader (Note: take care with this stage – it could render your system incapable of booting into Windows. If you really need Windows, then it might be a good idea to set up GRUB Bootloader with a ‘chainloader’ entry, so that you can dual boot. Working this out is an exercise left to the reader – there are too many possible scenarios for me to cover in this short guide. Also see man grub and the files in \/usr\/share\/doc\/grub)
\n * Rebooting (without the CD)<\/p>\n
7. When you’ve rebooted Knoppix from your hard disk, click on the KDE Control Centre icon in the launcher at the bottom of the screen (icon of a colour monitor with a card in front of it)<\/p>\n
8. Within the Control Center, click on Personliche Einstellungen<\/p>\n
9. Click on Land und Sprache<\/p>\n
10. Choose the locale and language of your choice<\/p>\n
11. Click on Andwenden at bottom of that window<\/p>\n
12. Close and restart the Control Center<\/p>\n
13. Click on Peripherals, then Keyboard, and choose your preferred keyboard layout (which will probably be US.English. Click OK and close the window<\/p>\n
14. Press CTRL-ALT-F2 to get to the root console, and log in as root (using the password you chose when you ran the installer)<\/p>\n
15. (Optional) – type apt-get update (followed by ENTER). This will update your list of available packages, and takes about 5-10 minutes.<\/p>\n
16. Hey, presto, you’ve got a fully installed GNU\/Linux desktop<\/p>\n
From here on in, you’ll probably want to fine-tune a few things, set up themes, backgrounds etc. But most of the hard work is already done for you!<\/p>\n
And lastly, note that Knoppix is based on Debian, which is arguably the finest GNU\/Linux infrastructure available. To learn more about your system, and how to add\/change\/remove software, go to the Debian website and read the documents. If you get really stuck, start up X-Chat and log into irc.debian.org or irc.openprojects.net and join channel #knoppix. That is one busy chat room, with Debian Linux experts present 24\/7, willing to help. Please also know that, even though Knoppix is based on the Debian distribution, your enquiries in #debian may not be welcomed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
