First hard disk is a very fast WD Raptor (74.6G). The second one is PATA and much bigger (320GB). I would obviously like to put everything that's static (knoppmyth stuff) on the first one, and my recordings on the second. So, /cache/cache goes on the first, /myth goes entirely on the second.

I understand that I have to do a manual install for this, but will Knoppmyth work with this 2 HD setup? Of course, I could always fix this by booting a normal knoppix, mounting, and editing fstab... Or perhaps this is even possible at installation (since knoppmyth still retains some of the basic knoppix functionality).

TIA

Yes, it would work. As of MythTV 0.19, there is no longer a need for the live ringbuffer. If you are using a release w/ 0.19, there is no /cache.

Sure KnoppMyth works fine with multiple disks. Since the basic install only takes about 5Gb plus ~1.5 x RAM for swap, you're going to have a bunch of otherwised unused space on that first drive you can put recordings on. I would highly recommend using the latest public release (R5B7) and setting up LVM.

The easiest thing to do is an automatic install to /dev/hda, then after the reboot and before entering the pasword for the second phase setup, switch to an alternate console and run (assuming you're using R5B7 and that /dev/hdb is a single big partition):

That primary raptor disk is sata, so automagic installation isnt an option.

Even so I'd still look into LVM, 74Gb is ridiculous overkill for the root partition.
