KNOPPIX Install

Knoppix is

a very complete Linux distribution which runs entirely from a CD. It


does a great job of detecting hardware and comes configured to run


KDE. Just put in the CD, reboot and you’re running Linux with all


sorts of software to play with. It never touches your hard drive, so


when you’re finished, just remove the CD, reboot and you’re back to


using boring old Windows.  But did you know you can also install it


directly from the CD to your hard drive? I was trying to install


Debian 3 on an older PC at my house and it was having trouble running


KDE and the sound card wouldn’t work. With nothing to lose, I popped


in Knoppix 3.2, typed /usr/bin/kpx-hdinstall and followed the


instructions. In no time I just rebooted into a working Debian Linux


system. It detected all of my hardware just fine. Nice.
