[debian-knoppix] RE: HDD Installation / Customization
Quick question - do you have to mess about with permissions when you
copy back your old home to a new install?

It is easy to get knoppix to run from the hard drive. Just boot the CD
and type in a root shell "knoppix-installer".
This will come up with a menu.
1/ Run the setup.
2/ Run the install ...
3/ Bingo you have a Debian system on your HD.
Customizing it.
1/ Run the setup to create a config file.
2/ Save configuration to a file in your home directory.
3/ Go to the home directory and modify it as desired. For example you
can change to reiser file system, no formatting ... different drive
mapping such as a whole partition just for /home. It is well
documented ... the configuration script is really well commented. 4/ Go
back to the knoppix-installer program and load your new configuration.
5/ Run the install. 6/ You will now boot to a customized Debian.
Works great either way. The computer I am typing on is a Debian
custom created from a knoppix disk. I use the knoppix disk to maintain
it. If there is a problem I just save my home directory to an external
serial drive. Then I run the knoppix disk and re-install it. It only
takes 20 minutes. Then put my home directory back. Easy.
Ian.
