You might try tohd or 2hd on the CD.  Sometimes it works.

I just started fiddling with GRML, It works great as a live CD, I wonder if there is any way of installing it to a hard drive?

Subject: a beginner to linux


 Could anyone possibly help me getting started with Linux, pointers which
 might help me get going?
 I have been trying to use Ubuntu with Gnopernicus but have been having
 problems getting it going after login?
 A chap from one of the LUGs (Linux User Groups I attend managed to vaguely
 get Gnopernicus running on my Laptop with Ubuntu but it is configuring it
 for speech during Login which seems to be a problem at the moment.
 I haven't posted to this group for a while as someone upset me when I
 enquired about trying to trace my LUG saying that everyone would be upset
 that I posted such a question on this group yet a LUG is a group for
 supporting people wishing to learn about Linux so he was the only one
 griping about it.  Not everyone has a sighted person nearby to turn to
 like a partner and my family not only live a few miles away but are also
 less computer savvy than me.
 If I had the choice I would have a partner which as regards getting
 started with Linux would make my job as a newby easier only the people
 running the age range I fit into, I am 28 by the way, have been very heavy
 both verbally and physically as regards me seeing someone, some might call
 it peer pressure but I think bullying is more an apt term. Whatever the
 harrassment myself and my potential partners is called it turned one of my
 potential partners into a Heroin addict in one case and her parents took
 sides with her dealers because the eldest sister who has a family of her
 own who claimed to have supported me through her sister who is nearer to
 her in age who ended up on the Heroin after telling me I would be the
 first person she would consider as a boyfriend told me her youngest sister
 who I could have dated instead was told by their parents to disconnect the
 phone on me in order to create a fake fault on the line despite the claim
 that their whole family was backing me over the bullying I was getting at
 Blind Schools and Colleges including by at least one person who got a job
 working for the BBC despite his reputation at supposedly the best Blind
 School in England where staff in senior management knew of his extreme
 views some of which were even racist and he even had a hold over this girl
 who went along with this stuff despite his racial abuse although someone I
 spoke to since admitted this person had control and said the girls at this
 School were not indipendent and very easily lead and this person was a
 younger male student which was a change because men about my age have
 generally refused to accept the fact that men can be victims of bullies
 and not just the perpotrators. The person who had a go at me knows nothing
 about my life which has made me not even rule out the possibility of
 police involvement to stop the harrassment which has caused me to so far
 live a single life instead of enjoying going out with ladies who I could
 have been close to, something enjoyed by most men my age.
