&lt;h2&gt;Introduction&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Full GNU/Linux Desktop installed in 20 minutes flat!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;No more excuses for running W--dows!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.knoppix.org&quot;&gt;Knoppix&lt;/a&gt; is a remarkable Linux
'demo' distribution, in that it can run totally from a CD, without
disturbing any existing software or disks on the system it's running on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even better, Knoppix can auto-detect hardware as it starts up, and
does quite a good job of configuring this hardware.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And still better, Knoppix is chock-full of the best desktop software
which GNU/Linux has to offer - office software, games, productivity
suites, software development tools, multimedia - you name it! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After seeing a Knoppix demo, many users decide that they'd like to
have Knoppix permanently installed on their system. This HOWTO gives a
simple step-by-step guide to putting Knoppix on the hard disk, with the
added bonus that it will run faster from then on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This guide covers a couple of obvious points which are strangely
missing from the Knoppix website, and will help you to go from first
boot to a fully set up GNU/Linux desktop in 20 minutes flat!&lt;a
 name=&quot;requirements&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr size=&quot;2&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;System Requirements&lt;/h2&gt;
To install and run Knoppix on your PC, you'll need:
&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Pentium-class processor, preferably 300MHz+&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;64MB RAM&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;A spare partition on your disk, min 3GB&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;(of course) a &lt;a
 href=&quot;http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html#order&quot;&gt;Knoppix CD&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a
 name=&quot;installationprocedure&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;hr size=&quot;2&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Installation Procedure&lt;/h2&gt;
To get Knoppix installed onto your hard drive:
&lt;ol&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Boot the Knoppix CD.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;When the boot prompt comes up, choose your language.&lt;br&gt;
Most of us speak English, so we'll type:
    &lt;blockquote&gt;boot: &lt;b&gt;knoppix lang=en&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
then press ENTER (you don't type the 'boot:' part, of course)&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Wait till the system is fully launched, including the KDE desktop&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Press &lt;b&gt;CTRL-ALT-F1&lt;/b&gt;, to get a root console. You should see
a shell prompt&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Type: &lt;b&gt;knx-hdinstall&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Follow the guided installation menus. This will include:&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;
    &lt;ul&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Creating a Linux partition (at least 2.5GB&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Creating a Linux Swap partition (at least 256MB)&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;'Mounting' the Linux partition as root&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Initialising the swap partition&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Copying all the required files (automatically)&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Setting up networking&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Setting passwords&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Setting up the bootloader (&lt;i&gt;Note: take care with this stage
- it could render your system incapable of booting into Windows. If you
really need Windows, then it might be a good idea to set up &lt;a
 href=&quot;http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html&quot;&gt;GRUB Bootloader &lt;/a&gt;
with a 'chainloader' entry, so that you can dual
boot. Working this out is an exercise left to the reader - there
are too many possible scenarios for me to cover in this short guide.
Also see &lt;b&gt;man grub&lt;/b&gt; and the files in &lt;b&gt;/usr/share/doc/grub&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;Rebooting (without the CD)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;When you've rebooted Knoppix from your hard disk, click on the &lt;b&gt;KDE
Control Centre&lt;/b&gt; icon in the launcher at the bottom of the screen
(icon of a colour monitor with a card in front of it)&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Within the Control Center, click on &lt;b&gt;Personliche Einstellungen&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Click on &lt;b&gt;Land und Sprache&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Choose the locale and language of your choice&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Click on &lt;b&gt;Andwenden&lt;/b&gt; at bottom of that window&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Close and restart the Control Center&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Click on &lt;b&gt;Peripherals&lt;/b&gt;, then &lt;b&gt;Keyboard&lt;/b&gt;, and choose
your preferred keyboard layout (which will probably be &lt;b&gt;US.English&lt;/b&gt;.
Click &lt;b&gt;OK&lt;/b&gt; and close the window&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Press &lt;b&gt;CTRL-ALT-F2&lt;/b&gt; to get to the root console, and log in
as root (using the password you chose when you ran the installer)&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;(Optional) - type &lt;b&gt;apt-get update&lt;/b&gt; (followed by ENTER).
This will update your list of available packages, and takes about 5-10
minutes.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Hey, presto, you've got a fully installed GNU/Linux desktop&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From here on in, you'll probably want to fine-tune a few things, set
up themes, backgrounds etc. But most of the hard work is already done
for you!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And lastly, note that Knoppix is based on &lt;a
 href=&quot;http://www.debian.org&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt;, which is arguably the finest
GNU/Linux infrastructure available. To learn more about your system,
and how to add/change/remove software, go to the Debian website and
read the documents. If you get really stuck, start up &lt;b&gt;X-Chat&lt;/b&gt;
and log into &lt;b&gt;irc.debian.org&lt;/b&gt; or &lt;b&gt;irc.openprojects.net&lt;/b&gt; and
join channel &lt;b&gt;#knoppix&lt;/b&gt;. That is one busy chat room, with Debian
Linux experts present 24/7, willing to help. Please also know that,
even though Knoppix is based on the Debian distribution, your enquiries
in &lt;b&gt;#debian&lt;/b&gt; may not be welcomed.&lt;a name=&quot;whatislinux&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr size=&quot;2&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What is Linux?&lt;/h2&gt;
Linux, or more correctly, GNU/Linux, is an operating system that runs
on most known types of computers, including (of course) the popular
Intel-based PCs that most people use, and Macintoshes, right up to
large mainframes and supercomputers.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
GNU/Linux is sweeping rapidly throughout the computer world, from
individual users through to small companies, large corporations and
government departments.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
GNU/Linux is based on Open Source software - software for which the
source code is freely available. The license conditions for OSS allow
you to view and modify the software, and share your changes freely.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Amongst the many advantages of OSS are:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Price - total cost of ownership of GNU/Linux based systems is
less than half that of proprietary systems like Windows. Often, it's
even a quarter or less.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Security - GNU/Linux systems are far less vulnerable to crackers
than proprietary systems.&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Versatility - with GNU/Linux, you have the freedom to mix and
match software as you choose, also to change any software as you see
fit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Transparency - with the source code available, you can satisfy
yourself that your programs are not doing anything undesirable without
your consent (not always true for proprietary Windows systems - for
example, Windows keeps secret records of everything you do on your
computer)&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Empowerment - with GNU/Linux, no company can gradually encroach
onto your rights and privacy.&lt;br&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
GNU/Linux has advanced to the point where most moderately-skilled
computer users can convert their systems to GNU/Linux, without losing
any of their old Windows-based data.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
There are thousands of excellent websites relating to GNU/Linux around
the world. I list just a few of them here:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
