I've loaded knoppix on a small laptop that only has 32 meg of ram...I am impressed! I tried gentoo, debian and couldn't get either of those to boot. The knoppix does.

With such a small amount of memory i need to boot without Kdesktop. Can someone tell me how to that? or in a minimal mode. or perhaps kill kdesktop and go to just a terminal mode?

I'd like to get webmin, maybe samba, and apache on this little guy if possible and manage it all with webmin.

Thanks

I assume you're asking how to boot to a smaller window manager. At the boot prompt, type:

knoppix desktop= fluxbox

or any of the other window managers:

fluxbox, icewm, kde, larswm, twm, wmaker, xfce
