Jsu:

Described installation was tried on Dannix (Knoppix CZ) from 3.7. 2003
Boot Knoppix CD

Run Root Console

Use "'''fdisk'''" to create two primary partitions. Larger for OS (for example /dev/hda1 as type 83 Linux) and smaller for swap (for example /dev/hda2 as type 82 Linux Swap).
Don't forget to set up bootable attribute "a" to /dev/hda1.

'''mke2fs /dev/hda1''' - initialization of the device
'''mkdir /mnt/hda1''' - creating of the mounting point
'''mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1''' - mounting of the device
'''cp -a /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/hda1''' - copy of needed files
'''cp /etc/fstab /mnt/hda1/etc''' - copy "fstab" file to new system location
'''chroot /mnt/hda1''' - moving to interactive shell

Modify "/etc/fstab" file:
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext2 noatime 0 1
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,user,umask=000 0 0

'''mkdir /dev/shm''' - create needed directory

Modify "/etc/lilo.conf" file:
lba32
boot=/dev/hda
prompt
delay=50
vga=normal
default=DaNiX
image=/vmlinuz
append="lang=us apm=power-off"
root=/dev/hda1
label=DaNiX
read-write

'''lilo''' - write new informatin to MBR
Modify "'''/etc/init.d/*xsession'''" file. Find "'''USER=knoppix'''" and change it to "'''USER=root'''" (aproximately 5th line)
Reboot Knoppix and then boot it from HDD (NOT from CD!!!)

Run Root Console
'''mkswap /dev/hda2''' - setting up /dev/hda2 as swap device
Reboot Knoppix

The Knoppix system is now installed on your HDD and you can run it as root user.

=== Run Knoppix OS as a different user (not root)===

Run Root Console

'''adduser''' - create new user
.
.

Modify "'''/etc/init.d/*xsession'''" file. Find "'''USER=root'''" and change it to "'''USER=%UserName%'''" (aproximately 5th line), where '''%UserName%''' is the user name of created user.

Run "'''visudo'''" to modify "'''/etc/sudoers'''". There you have to find and change "'''knoppix'''" to "'''%UserName%'''", where '''%UserName%''' is the user name of created user.

This change will allow you to run Root Console.

Reboot Knoppix.

Installation of older Knoppix to HDD

Jsu:

Installation of older Knoopix to HDD

- Described installation was tried on Dannix (CZ Knoppix) from 3.7. 2003
- Boot Knoppix CD
- Run Root Console
- Use "fdisk" to create two primary partitions. Larger for OS (for example /dev/hda1
as type 83 Linux) and smaller for swap (for example /dev/hda2 as type 82 Linux Swap).
Don't forget to set up bootable attribute "a" to /dev/hda1.
- Run "mke2fs /dev/hda1" for initialization of the device
- Run "mkdir /mnt/hda1" for creation of the mounting point
- Run "mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1" for mounting of the device
- Run "cp -a /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/hda1" to copy of needed files
- Run "cp /etc/fstab /mnt/hda1/etc" to copy "fstab" file to new system location
- Run "chroot /mnt/hda1" for moving to interactive shell
- Modify "/etc/fstab" file:

/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext2 noatime 0 1

none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

/dev/cdrom /cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,user, umask=000 0 0

- Run "mkdir /dev/shm" to create of needed directory
- Modify "/etc/lilo.conf" file:

lba32
boot=/dev/hda
prompt
delay=50
vga=normal
default=DaNiX

image=/vmlinuz
append="lang=us apm=power-off"
root=/dev/hda1
label=DaNiX
read-write

- Run "lilo" for writing of new informatin to MBR
- Modify "/etc/init.d/*xsession" file. Find "USER=knoppix" and change it to "USER=root" (aproximately 5th line)
- Reboot Knoppix and then boot it from HDD (NOT from CD!!!)
- Run Root Console
- Run "mkswap /dev/hda2" for setting up /dev/hda2 as swap device
- Reboot Knoppix

- The Knoppix system is now installed on your HDD and you can run it as root user.

- If you want to run Knoppix OS as a different user (not root), create it (run "adduser").
- Modify "/etc/init.d/*xsession" file. Find "USER=root" and change it to "USER=%UserName%" (aproximately 5th line), where
%UserName% is the user name of created user.
- Run "visudo" to modify "/etc/sudoers". There you have to find and change "knoppix" to "USER=%UserName%", where
%UserName% is the user name of created user. This change will allow you to run Root Console.
- Reboot Knoppix.
