brent 0 Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 i'm trying to get knoppix onto my hard drive so i can have it fully installed. i tried following the instructions at http://www.freenet.org.nz/misc/knoppix-install.html but the fifth instruction, type knx-hdinstall at root just comes back with "command not found" do i need to be in a specific directory to do this, if anyone knows? how do i search for applications, in order to find where the program is to do this, if it is a program? thanks brent AIM: crankbikes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roi1 0 Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 well i never installed knoppix before, so i am not sure that i will be able to help, but in order to search for files, execute the following command: "find / -name [FileName] -print" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyh 0 Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 /sbin would be the first place I'd look Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ben Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 What version of knoppix are you running? I just tried this using knoppix 3.4 fairly successfully. Are you running the command as root? You might try this: sudo knx2hd That will run knx2hd as root. You can try it with the other command if you weren't attempting it as root. The reason why it makes a difference is because root gets access to commands (like those in sbin) which non-superusers don't get access to. Hope this helps. In case anyone is interested, I didn't end up getting it running because I was trying to install it to an external USB 2.0 hd and I can't get it to boot to it, but it seemed to install correctly.

el_mach3tero 0 Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 the command for knoppix 3.4 and up i believe is: sudo knoppix-installer make sure that you have a valid ex2 partition of about 3gigs or more and a linux swap disk. if not, qtparted will be started. after that, dont ask me because thats where i am stuck. i can install Mandrake just fine and im thinking about downloading it... the only thing i like about the knoppix CD is that it has wine installed so i dont have to mess with it, also it appears that installing debian packages is a sinch. someone with expert knowledge please head up a tutorial session in IRC pleeeeeeeeeeeease. linux people are notorius for being snobs with the info, as if noobs can easily navigate bsd.org for their problems. cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
