Hi, I know we did knoppix onlist a few weeks back, but a pal of mine discovered
knoppix the other day and was very impressed. He did ask me:
I want to know what you can't do with Knoppix that I could by doing a full install. I presume a proper install would give better performance.
And of course, I don't know. I'm going to be grilled on this as he'll presume I'm some sort of linux expert, and I need to have some answers ready so I don't tumble from my pedestal :-) Thanks, Jen
I have tried it. Take care if installing on a system with no scsi devices. best to use the noscsi option else it may lock up (mine did). From what I could see all the basics were there including open office IIRC (as much as you can fit on one CD) but thereafter you can apt-get to you hearts content. CD install definitely runs slower than hd install. Be careful to get the latest version. Older ones had broken UK keyboard support and defaulted to the German language.
