It will run like from CD, but the CDROM is free for other use and its a bit faster. Although you'll need a bootfloppy or change the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bios Bios] options to boot first the hard disk with Knoppix (i.e. the second hard disk or d: unit).<br /> <br /> ==== Q: Is there other way that does not use so much space? Perhaps by having a compressed file system? ====<br /> <br /> A: Yes, you can install Knoppix in 700 megs instead of 2.3 gigs for the real install, but it will run as if it were from a physical CD, so you cannot install anything, unless you do a 'normal' install. Each time you boot your hardware will need to be redetected. This is not for novices. For more information see the HOWTO for the [[Hd Based HowTo]] hard drive based install.<br /> <br /> ==== Q: Why doesn't my sound work? ====<br /> <br /> A: Just run &quot;/etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig&quot; as [[root]] once and you'll be fixed up nicely. To have the sound levels set at boot (alsa defaults to muted) edit the file &quot;/etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh&quot; and add '''aumix -w 75 -v 75''' to the bottom of the file.<br /> <br /> ==== Q: How do I install the latest Gnome? ====<br /> <br /> A: Comment all the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list except the unstable ones.<br /> *'''apt-get update<br /> *'''apt-get install gnome<br /> <br /> In order to have gnome-session working you must execute the following and choose metacity<br /> *'''update-alternatives --config x-window-manager<br /> <br /> Optionally you can also install gdm, galeon, evolution, etc.<br /> <br /> ==== Q: how to install knoppix-terminalserver and/or knoppix-terminalopenmosixserver ??? ====<br /> <br /> ----<br /> Return to [[Knoppix FAQ]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category : FAQ Page]]</div>
