In fact the only reason for using Knoppix at all is that the standard install failed and Knoppix succeeds. I figured this would be a basic How-To or FAQ, but although there exists the "debootstrap via knoppix" instructions, they are apparently a red-herring, since they can't preserve the Knoppix base-system (or can they?).When I wanted to do that, I found somewhere (sorry can't remember where) that once you've booted Knoppix, open a terminal and type:If this is already documented somewhere, what's it called?Otherwise, any help appreciated --- I'll be happy to write up the procedure, as it seems like it would be very useful.TIA, Terry
su knoppix-installerThen follow the instructions. As I was (and am) a complete newbie and found it relatively easy, you should be fine.
Just note that when upgrading, go to Knoppix sources, rather than Debian ones. It's easy to break the installed OS, at least for me it was. :(
