Knoppix as a Diagnostic CD
I was just wondering if there is a version/derivative of Knoppix which works like a diagnostic CD:
i- provides system information (processor, RAM, devices, etc.
[after all most of this information is displayed at boot time. how to access this once the system is booted?]
ii- runs tests like memtest, cpubenchmarks, video tests on demand
[one of the cheat codes in the latest version (3.4) has memtest]
Is there such a beast out there?

Hi Mumtaz,
I am not a specalst in getting all the computer
system data, but KNOPPIX can give you a lot
information.
K --> System --> Info Center
K --> System --> KDE System Guard
I am useing kantotix at the moment and there is a fun
add on utility xmbmon and mbmon to watch
your fan speed, mother board and chip
temperatures and voltages.
You can get mprime235.tar.gz to run a
stability test from http://www.mersenne.org
I do not know of a special project to gather all
this data automatically, but you could work
on it.
Best Wishes

in the console you find the powertools.
among these dmesg>dmesg.txt makes the text you see at boot into a text document in your home directory.
then you have lspci and lsmod, Ls means list--> lsmod=list modules, thereby displaying pci-cards and loaded modules.
to make things interesting there is a bunch of cat /proc/* among the usefull are replacing * with cpuinfo and interrupts.

I included some apps like prime95, seti@home, folding@home, memtest, and cpuburn in my remaster, Overclockix. These are mainly for stress testing and benchmarking.
There's also some system monitoring utilities done through a program called karamba.
