Knoppix 5.1 Vs. Knoppix 6.2

Q: How do i install knoppix to the H.D. Of my computer or desktop ?
A: 2 steps to install Knoppix to the H.D. Of any computer
Step 1: After Knoppix has finished booting and KDE Desktop has loaded,
simultaneously press Ctrl + Alt + F1 for the command line prompt.
And/or Ctrl + Alt + F2 only if F1 fails!

Step 2: Commands to start installing knoppix are :
1. knoppix-installer
2. knx-hdinstall
Note: Knoppix 6.2 you have the GUI Menu option to install to your H.D.
So the 2 step process is rather obsolete.

A computer with 1.6GHz CPU & 256MB of ram will run Knoppix 6.2 with fusion desktop effects.
But do note the boot process may act sluggish or take 4 to 5 min to boot up.

So don’t hit the panic button too soon.
