Today, I installed a GNU/Linux Debian system on my X31 - without any external USB devices. This is what I did instead:

  • Boot up my regular PC with Knoppix 3.8 (including Knoppix Terminal Server)
  • Start terminal server. In settings, uncheck "security" to enable root access on clients!
  • Link X31 to PC's network interface (either directly using a crossed cable or with normal patch cables using a switch).
  • Boot up X31 (the odd boot device name stands for ethernet).
  • Start knx2hd (Knoppix Menu) and install to your liking.

Note: With qtparted you even can shrink existing NTFS partitions if you dare (no guarantees), be aware that this may take some 20 minutes.

All hardware was correctly detected (sound, cisco wlan, energy savings), just hibernation lacks the suspend2 patch in kernel. Suspend to RAM works, however.
