Hi there,
After playing around with the iso CD boot, I just decided to try an install on the hard disk because I found that system often hangs a while and spin the CD before continue its work. But my hard disk has only one partition for my old win98. As I know, I can't actually install DSL on the hard disk, am I correct ? Pls correct me if not.
So I downloaded the boot image and created the boot floppy and copied the KNOPPIX folder to c:\ drive of win98 to let the notebook boot from floppy and access the KNOPPIX in c:\. Everything seems fine during the boot. But it's found that hda1 is mounted on /cdrom and is read only.

/dev/ram0 3067 611 2456 20% /
/dev/hda1 14718872 4489324 10229548 31% /cdrom
/dev/cloop 120078 120078 0 100% /KNOPPIX
/ramdisk 42060 1332 40728 3% /ramdisk
/dev/fd0 1424 47 1377 3% /mnt/auto/floppy
This will be different if I do a CD boot and mount hda1 where I can read-write hda1.

So, are there any tricks with the floppy boot ?
Thanks.
