Provided that you have more than 1GB of
RAM, you can run KNOPPIX entirely from RAM (so you can remove the KNOPPIX DVD
or CD and use that drive while you run KNOPPIX) by typing the following from the
boot prompt:
knoppix toram

Running KNOPPIX 11
Installing KNOPPIX to hard disk??”You can run KNOPPIX entirely from hard disk if
your hard disk is either a FAT or EXT2 file system type and contains at least 800MB of
space. To do this, you must know the name of the hard disk partition you are installing
on. For example, to use the first partition on the first IDE drive, you would use /dev/hda1.
In that case, to copy KNOPPIX to that disk partition, you would type this at the boot
prompt:
knoppix tohd=/dev/hda1
You can watch as KNOPPIX is copied to your hard disk partition and then boots automatically
from there. The next time you want to boot KNOPPIX, you can boot it from
hard disk again by inserting the KNOPPIX medium and typing the following:
knoppix fromhd=/dev/hda1
With KNOPPIX running from your hard disk, you can safely eject your CD or DVD and use the
drive for other things (type eject /dev/cdrom). Refer to the knoppix-cheatcodes.txt file for
information on other things you can do from the KNOPPIX boot prompt.
Using KNOPPIX
KDE is the default desktop environment that comes with KNOPPIX.
