Pete,

Sounds good to me, only you might need a swap partition...

From what I know of Knoppix, your swap should be in the following calculation:

1 GB - total memory = SWAP partition

or

500 MB

( which ever is greater )

If, on the other hand, you had 1 GB of RAM, then you would not need a swap at all.

You might check the DOCS link at the top of the page, and find the "minimum requirements" FAQ ( frequently asked questions ) and see how you compare, but, I think you are ok on them, not sure on your processor though, you didn't provide that in your initial post...

Hope this helps,
Ms. Cuddles
