Well, Bill, I thought I was clear about where I found the instructions--The Knoppix website. All the terms in these instructions were the same as those online. I have no idea why he referred to Knoppix on the hard drive as "Gnu/Linux". No, I haven't tried to do a hard drive installation yet, basically because I get nervous whenever I play around in the Terminal which these instructions assume you can use. I found these so-called "simple instructions" on how to do it, and thought that I'd pass them on for others to try out, before I wiped out another hard drive. I have four hard drives, two of which I can use for experiments such as this. Actually, I would prefer someone else try them first, and report on how well they work. It would also be esp. helpful to give more detail in dealing with the "dual-booting" problem with Windows. Yep, when it comes to doing something I'm not comfortable doing, I'm basically a coward. :-)) ---Al Johnson. ========================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Gooding" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 4:03 PM Subject: [TriLUG] Installing Knoppix on hard drive revisited!!
