I started writing this document to help me understand the different types of installation options presented in the knoppix-installer, and to begin some documentation of them. As you will see this document currently quickly degrades into a run through of just what the installer does. I hope it is still useful to someone else. | I started writing this document to help me understand the different types of installation options presented in the knoppix-installer, and to begin some documentation of them.

knoppix type installs and debian/beginner type installs are two quite different things. Debian type installs are very similar to a beginner type except that it runs system_services which changes (removes) the hardware detection system and uses a common command line for the kernel except for a few rescue type commands which carry on to the installed system. A beginner type install retains Knoppix's hardware autodetection and the full command line/cheatcodes. | knoppix type installs and debian/beginner type installs are two quite different things.

The general consensus seems to be that most problems and confusion arrive with people using the knoppix type installation so generally the debian or beginner type install are preferable. More experienced users will probably want the debian type install, users not familiar with setting up hardware may not want to follow them however. If you are going to use the beginner type be aware that you are still using the auto-configuration so you can change your cheatcodes, the flip-side is that changes you may think you are making permanently will be overwritten when you reboot. It is the balance of convinience of hardware setup (especially if you change hardware) Vs having a more regular installed linux (debian) system. | The general consensus seems to be that most problems and confusion arrive with people using the knoppix type installation so generally the debian or beginner type install are preferable.
