There is an install script it /usr/local/bin or something like that.

It's called knx-hdinstall or something to that effect.

That shouldn't happen. Knoppix should boot as root by default.

Still from the command prompt:

su root

The password should be blank

You can install this through the GUI but I can't be bothered explaining it.

Boot from the CD-ROM

At the boot prompt (you have 10 seconds to start typing) enter:

knoppix 2

You will then be at either a command prompt or it will prompt you to login in. It should be root without a password (just enter).

cd /usr/local/bin

knx-hdinstall

there you go, done.

I did it through the Shell - Konsole ... typed the su and then the ******* ... dealt with partioning it , that wasnt a prob at all... now its installing from the GUI it looks like.... so hopefully all will go well.. and i get to play around with it... *Thinks i could be a Linux convert* :D

Thank You for Your help.. i do appreciate it... i know Without it i probably would have given up :cry:

Try this:

Let the computer boot to the Desktop same as normal

do Cntrl-Alt-F1 to the commandline (note... doesn't seem to be a prompt)

Type in either knx-hdinstall for the old style knoppix installer script or type in knoppix-installer to get the new style where you can get a pure debian install.
