Run Knoppix without a dial: insert Knoppix to the hard disk

Article Title: Run Knoppix without a dial: insert Knoppix to the hard disk. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source. Do you think Knoppix is useful? However, you do not have a burner and cannot burn it into a CD. Or if you want to keep Knoppix for a long time and implant it into your hard disk, come with me!

Run Knoppix without a dial

If you have downloaded the Knoppix CD image, FAT32 partition, and do not want to dial the disk, and want to try Knoppix, you can run Knoppix with the following steps:

1. Use the virtual optical drive software (such as DAEMON Tools) to load the downloaded CD image, then enter the Virtual CD, copy the KNOPPIX directory to the FAT32 partition, such as D: \ KNOPPIX;
2. Go to the Knoppix disc "boot \ keyboard), and then to the http://elserv.ffm.fgan.de /~ Lermen/download loadlin,decompress loadlin.exe to the root directory of drive D;
3. Create a batch file under the root directory of disk D, such as knoppix. bat. The content of the file is as follows:

   Loadlin linux24 root =/dev/hda5 ramdisk_size = 100000 init =/etc/init lang = cn apm = power-off vga = 791 initrdw.minirt24.gz nomce quiet BOOT_IMAGE = knoppix myconfig = scan

   /Dev/hda5 is the FAT32 partition where Knoppix is located. Knoppix treats the primary partition as/dev/hda1, the first slave partition as/dev/hda5, and the second slave partition as/dev/hda6, and so on, therefore, disk D is/dev/hda5. If this is the first time, you can remove the myconfig parameter;
4. Use a floppy disk, a USB flash drive, or a vfloppy virtual floppy disk to access the dos interface;
5. Enter the partition where you place Knoppix and enter knoppix. bat to enter Knoppix.

This method is applicable to Knoppix 3.4 and later versions.

Insert Knoppix into hard disk

Having said so many Knoppix functions and benefits, do you want to install it on your hard disk? Like other Linux releases, do you want to coexist with Windows and create a multi-system boot menu? In this way, you do not need to save the settings and data every time after the operation, and input parameters for loading at startup.

Like other Linux suites, the first step to installing Knoppix is to prepare necessary hard disk space for it. Hard Disk version Knoppix requires at least 2 GB of free space and MB of SWAP space, but it is best to have a free space above 2 GB, because it is always necessary to save some files after installation! You can use software such as PQMagic to separate space from the existing system for use in Knoppix.

Then boot into Knoppix with a CD, start the terminal program, enter the command "sudo knoppix-installer", or switch to the Super User with "su" and enter "knoppix-installer ", the "Knoppix Installation" Wizard appears.

Select "3. partition, click "OK", the Partition program "qtparted" on the Linux interface will be started, and the hard disk under "Disks" on the left will be selected, such as "/dev/hda ", the partition of the existing hard disk will appear on the right side. If the Type is "free", the hard disk space you just set aside is used.
