[wplug] Regarding Knoppix

[Ghataora, Hardeep]

Byron's right, there is a script called knx-hdinstall and one called
knoppix-installer, I usually use knx-hdinstall.

It has a few prerequesites before it'll install on your hard disk, I
think about 3 GB of disk space.
It's a shell script so you can tweak as needed, the script isnt too keen
on different partitions, it'll ask you for where to put / and then mount
that partition and copy the CD over and do post install tasks. But, that
can be overcome by altering the script.

Once you've installed it you'll have a fully functional copy of debian
on your hard disk, and you can start using apt-get to update it. Works
well I've done it on a few machines to get LINUX quick (I still don't
know how to create a RedHat kickstart floppy).

I've not given knoppix-installer a try, might give it a go this morning.

Hope this helps,

H

Yeah, it's called knoppix-hd-install.sh or something like that.  Open a 
root terminal and type knop and then press tab, it should appear in the 
completion list.

I really like knoppix, but I'm kind of addicted to fedora's nicer 
configuration menus.  If I could have debian's apt archive with fedora's

admin tools, I'd be on cloud nine.  The apt-rpm repositories are getting

better, but no one does it like the debian folks.
