As a "knoppix n00b",
I have only tried it since last weekend.
Someone gave me a burned copy of 3.1 ages ago, but I never got round to trying it.
But since I have installed debian sarge, and had lots of problems, someone at my LUG reminded that you can boot knoppix and install to my hard drive, hence my finding this forum.
Well, all I can say is "WOW". Very, very impressive(so I have also downloaded 3.2 :D)
It seems to detect all my hardware, only minor config for my ethernet card and net access. the only thing that I didn't check out was printers, but that can wait.
My questions are that If I do the Hdd install, do I loose any of the configuration detected by the live version. Also I note that this forum title "when installed to the Hdd, it basically becomes debian" so does it do the stuff like configuring appropriate sources for "apt-get" or do I have to work that out myself? (sorry, being a noob at this debian thing - even attempts at minor configuration turn into major events for me!)
regards
John :D
