I just installed Knoppix to my hard drive and I am even more impressed with it than I was when it was running off the CD.
I think it is just revolutionary to have a live CD that you can install and use the same CD as a rescue disk.
If Microsoft offered the same thing in Windows, it would have a fresh round of billions coming in. But then they don't think outside the box. So that ain't going to happen.
By the way, I used a utility called Bootpart to get my dual boot install to work with XP. It is a breeze to use and automatically puts a line in your boot.ini menu. No typing needed!!!!
Anyway there are a couple of problems I have to iron out to complete the install.
In k. version 2.4.27 I have no sound. In version 2.6.7 I have sound (Yahoo!) BUT the modem doesn't work. When I try to dial out I get a message "Modem is Busy". The modem does work in k. version 2.4.27. but there is no sound.
With no other problems that I can see in k. version 2.6.7 I would love to get this modem kink ironed out. It is an old Cardinal 28.8 winmodem. Pretty generic really. Our phone lines are pretty crappy where I live so I never upgraded modems. No need.
Anyone out there have an idea about what is going on and how to fix it?
I would even just go buy another modem to get this working.
