I did it on a Toshiba A35-S159. I am writing a HOWTO but its not published yet. Here's a good Knoppix to HDD HOWTO (slow link, be patient): http://www.distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=review-knoppix After it's installed: apt-get update apt-get -u upgrade; use "D" to examine configuration file differences and make informed decisions; if in doubt select "N" for no changes restart Linux install I found that I got a repeating message on console screen: ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged! Googling got this: login as root, "setserial /dev/ttyS0 autoconfig" stops message After I was in and annoying message was stopped, I read /var/log/syslog found the "brltty" found /dev/ttyS0 is not a tty and that the TSI driver was giving up; sometimes this was followed by a LSR safety check engaged! message remove brltty (braille tty) with:apt-get remove brltty restart voila! no more repeating "LSR safety check engaged!" messages My guess is that the winmodem in the laptop created this problem.
