1. irregular shows that it's already mounted as somewhere else i suppose (/cdrom in this case) - but I agree it does seem a bit odd in your case.  Run `mount` and you can see what and where everything is mounted.

4. /KNOPPIX is read only - but you may create a .uci extension, (some others have been looking for this as well).
5. Unless you really want it in /opt (i.e. making the extension) you can just install it to hda4 straight out.

6. I suppose that package is in need of updating.

I did verify that my system is actually booting from hda4, just where I told it to install. I don't like the fact that it is mounted as cdrom, though. how am I supposed to use my cd rom for anything else?
Code Sample

/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hda4 on /cdrom type ext2 (rw)
/dev/cloop on /KNOPPIX type iso9660 (ro)
/ramdisk on /ramdisk type tmpfs (rw,size=252208k,size=1925312k)
/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,devmode=0666)
/dev/hda3 on /mnt/hda3 type reiserfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)


not sure how i can install OO to /dev/hda4  /cdrom
no files are visible there, but clearly something is there as that's what boots up.

did you mean install to hda3 perhaps?

no, /cdrom is not your cdrom device.  A frugal installation is like running a livecd, so I assume that this directory just was left the same.

/cdrom is rw.  You can use that or hda3 (you'll have to mount it first tho), its up to you.
