I've got a Knoppix distro that is really cool and unlike anything else I've been able to find. It's called Mediainlinux, and it's multimedia-editing oriented. Really, it's the only one at distrowatch I could find of its type - all the others were media players or something for turning a box into a DVD player. Bah.
The biggest flaw is the fact that multimedia editing programs are notorious RAM hogs. Where does Knoppix run? In the RAM. So I want to install it to a hard drive.
There's a few guides I've seen. Two say that you run a command as root that starts a nice GUI installer, neither of which work (one of them was on the Mediainlinux web page, and was the only way mentioned.) The last was a long complicated thing that I couldn't easily access outside of Windows because there's yet to be Linux support for my wifi card and I didn't feel like running an ethernet cable to my router.
So either a) give me a guide that <i>works</i> for putting Knoppix on a ext2 partition, or b) direct me to a non-live CD distro that is as good as Mediainlinux - meaning full firewire support and the heaps of heaps of heaps of heaps of preinstalled media editing tools.
