How do I install Oralux on a hard disk?
The real installation on hard disk is a future feature. Nevertheless, knoppix-installer is available, at your own risk, for installing the CD on hardisk. Check the mailing list please for up-to-date informations. Another option is to copy the Oralux compressed file from the CD to the hard disk on any vfat or ext2 partition (but not a ntfs one). Less than 700 MBytes will be used. Oralux running from a hard disk will behave just as it did on CD: it won’t be possible to add or update new programs. This may also be an advantage. The two distinct stages to this operation are: • Create a KNOPPIX directory. This directory should be at the highest level of the partition’s tree: e.g. with MS-Windows, C:\KNOPPIX is correct, C:\MyFolder\KNOPPIX is not correct. • Copy the file KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX from the Oralux CD to the new directory. The Oralux CD or a boot floppy will be required to boot Oralux from the hard disk.
