[Quantian-general] RE: Hard install of Quantian via CD-ROMs

[Fernando Augusto Bender]

Hi,

As far as I know, quantian is based in knoppix and that on debian.
Knoppix in turn, is not indicated by them selves - knoppix maintainers -
to be used as a hard insatall.

If you look in the quantian howtos, you'll probably find this link:

http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian/howto_lilogrub.html

where you can downlaod the DVD size .iso file on a hd partition and boot
the node from its local HD where this .iso file is stored.

I Hope this tipo be helpful to you.

Best regards.
