Hi,

I'm looking to interview somebody from the Knoppix team for an article I'm planning to write about it in PC Format magazine (UK) - anyone got a contact at Knoppix?

Cheers,
Graham

You need to get in touch with Klaus Knopper, the creator of Knoppix. Knoppix.net is not run by Mr. Knopper. The address listed for him on knoppix.com is knoppix@knopper.net. Hope this works out. Please come back here and post a link to the article when you get done.

How 'bout a Knoppix CD in the issue with the article!
I get the Mag about 2 months late here in the US and I always love the CDs it comes with.

Just make sure you get a final 3.2 build out of Klaus before you publish it! Otherwise it would go from great PR to really, really bad PR in a hurry. Also, if you do include a CD, include instructions with as much detail as possible for best Newbie experience! Maybe even have Klaus roll you a custom disk with a little more space [keep it under 650--very fustrating to copy for newbies!] and skim the forums for some really good FAQs. I'm sure no one here would mind!

I know PC Format has to be big in the UK--after all, I can get it at newsstand here!

Thanks guys, I'll drop him an email and see where I get.

The CD idea is interesting - how many MB does it take up on the CD? Might be cool if we can get permission to do that.

You'll need a 700 MB CDR and yes it would be quite cool to do this.
