Recipe 13.12. Installing Knoppix to a Hard Disk

13.12.1 Problem

You really like using Knoppix, and you want to install it to a hard drive, just like a "real" Linux.

13.12.2 Solution

Fire up Knoppix and open a root shell. Type knoppix-installer. Follow the menus and prompts, and when you're done you'll have a thoroughly modern Debian system.

13.12.3 Discussion

This operates pretty much like any Linux installation. Check the release notes for your version of Knoppix, because up to Version 3.2 the installer script was knx-hdinstall. In 3.3 it changed to knoppix-installer. It could change again—the Linux world waits for no one.
