 Additionally the install has been locking up so I have to reset & start all over.  I've lost count how many times my install has failed--at least 5.

          | Make sure your cd rom was burned correctly, that means: 
 download, check md5 checksums
 burn in Disk At Once mode, that is not the default in nero, k3b, must be set manually
 burn at slow speed, 8x or so
 burn using good quality media
 
 once these are definitely done, take the new cd and boot with testcd cheat code

          | you can try cheating the bootup form CD with optional swapon /dev/hda3. 
 The swap-part. will be recognized by the installing process.

 Additionally the install has been locking up so I have to reset & start all over.  I've lost count how many times my install has failed--at least 5.
 
 2 ideas come to mind:
 
 Code: 
su
mkreiserfs /dev/hda2
 Then start the installer.
 
 Personally, I always do my installations in text mode.  You can start the installer like so:
 CTRL+ALT+F1
 
 Code: 
su
kanotix-installer
 After you've configured your installation Quit (be sure to SAVE it).  Just let the installer say whatever it wants because you are about to overrule it by editing the /root/.knofig file to your liking.  Then edit the .knofig file.
 
 Code: 
# cd
mcedit .knofig
 After editing the .knofig file fire up the installer once again and it will by default read your .knofig.
 
 Here is a .knofig for an example:
 
 Code: 
REGISTERED=' SYSTEM_MODULE SYSTEM_TYPE HD_MODULE HD_FORMAT HD_FSTYPE HD_CHOICE HD_MAP HD_IGNORECHECK SWAP_MODULE SWAP_AUTODETECT SWAP_CHOICES NAME_MODULE NAME_NAME USER_MODULE USER_NAME USERPASS_MODULE USERPASS_CRYPT ROOTPASS_MODULE ROOTPASS_CRYPT HOST_MODULE HOST_NAME SERVICES_MODULE SERVICES_START BOOT_MODULE BOOT_LOADER BOOT_DISK BOOT_WHERE INSTALL_READY'
 SYSTEM_MODULE='configured'
 # Determines if the system is a debian-derivate, a copy from CD or a nice mix of both
 # Possible are: knoppix|beginner|debian
 # Default value is: debian
 SYSTEM_TYPE='debian'
 
 HD_MODULE='configured'
 # Determines if the HD should be formatted. (mkfs.*)
 # Possible are: yes|no
 # Default value is: yes
 HD_FORMAT='yes'
 # Sets the Filesystem type.
 # Possible are: ext3|ext2|reiserfs|xfs|jfs
 # Default value is: reiserfs
 HD_FSTYPE='reiserfs'
 # Here the Kanotix-System will be installed
 # This value will be checked by function module_hd_check
 HD_CHOICE='/dev/sda2'
 # Here you can give additional mappings. (Experimental) You need to have the partitions formatted yourself and give the correct mappings like: "/dev/hda4:/boot /dev/hda5:/var /dev/hda6:/tmp"
 HD_MAP='/dev/sda3:/home /dev/sda7:/usr /dev/sda8:/var'
 # If set to yes, the program will NOT check if there is enough space to install Kanotix on the selected partition(s). Use at your own risk! Useful for example with HD_MAP if you only have a small root partition.
 # Possible are: yes|no
 # Default value is: no
 HD_IGNORECHECK='yes'
 
 SWAP_MODULE='configured'
 # If set to yes, the swap partitions will be autodetected.
 # Possible are: yes|no
 # Default value is: yes
 SWAP_AUTODETECT='yes'
 # The swap partitions to be used by the installed Kanotix.
 # This value will be checked by function module_swap_check
 SWAP_CHOICES='/dev/sda1'
 
 NAME_MODULE='configured'
 NAME_NAME='mzilikazi'
 
 USER_MODULE='configured'
 USER_NAME='mzilikazi'
 
 USERPASS_MODULE='configured'
 USERPASS_CRYPT='\$1\$Rxzquboa\$VPr0Yk1q3Barj5sdh9DyM0'
 
 ROOTPASS_MODULE='configured'
 ROOTPASS_CRYPT='\$1\$DDJVuDkj\$EzM5/J.DWCdns3r0JX6ZP.'
 
 HOST_MODULE='configured'
 HOST_NAME='hestviken'
 
 SERVICES_MODULE='configured'
 # Possible services are for now: kdm cupsys smail ssh samba
 # Default value is: kdm cupsys
 SERVICES_START='gdm cupsys'
 
 BOOT_MODULE='configured'
 # Chooses the Boot-Loader
 # Possible are: lilo|grub
 # Default value is: grub
 BOOT_LOADER='grub'
 # If set to 'yes' a boot disk will be created!
 # Possible are: yes|no
 # Default value is: yes
 BOOT_DISK='no'
 # Where the Boot-Loader will be installed
 # Possible are: mbr|partition
 # Default value is: mbr
 BOOT_WHERE='mbr'
 INSTALL_READY='yes'

          | Thank you everybody for your help--  I finally got Easter installed.  I did mkswap /dev/hda3 (which I did before w/out success) but w/out the -a switch.  then I used the testcd boot option & it was OK.  I did that check when I burned it.  Then I edited /root/.knofig which was the key to getting rid of the install wanting to have 2 swap drives.  Changes were: HD_IGNORECHECK='no'
 SWAP_CHOICES='/dev/hda3:/swap'
 HD MAP='/dev/hda1:/ /dev/hda2:/home /dev/hda3:/swap
 and I put a linefeed at the end.  I don't know if that was necessary.  I still am missing my cdrom device, I think due to enabling acpi & dma etc, but I'll work that out later.  My dvd/rw in fstab is listed kinda funny--as /dev/cdrom instead as /dev/hdd.  I haven't done a DU & don't intend to if my printer works which I haven't installed yet.  I'm guessing that localhost:631 is the way to go?

          | I don't believe it after all the frustration I've been through--I've finally got a system that works!  I was able to install my printer with Control Center & unbelievably it WORKS!! 
 joyboy@WorldsEnd:~$ apt-cache policy cupsys
 cupsys:
 Installed: 1.1.23-15
 Candidate: 1.2.1-3    **AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE**
 
 joyboy@WorldsEnd:~$ uname -a
 Linux WorldsEnd 2.6.16.16-kanotix-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 13 03:12:36 CEST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
 
 Can anybody give me a good reason to dist-upgrade?

          | D-U depend on Installing new files which needs newer version of some libs or not working modules. fixups.... 
 you can solve notworking packages by pinning the related libs, progs. (freeze cups.... alsa......).
 
 If these programms are known to run w/o errors you can remove the pinning on these progs.

          | kurt, if you do a d-u, put cups on hold before, otherwise your printing days are over.

 The .knofig file lives in the home dir of the user who launched the installer so if you used sudo to run the installer then it is /home/knoppix/.knofig and if launched as root it is /root/.knofig
