livecd -> hd install versus standard distro install
hello ppl,
I was just wondering if my reasons for trying out a live cd then doing a hd install of it are still valid.
my reasons were: none of the distros I tested had the almost perfect hardware recognition while knoppix or kanotix are perfect for the hardware I use.
Now what would be a better distro talking about those two? I heard kanotix is better if I am aiming at a hd install and thats definitely what I want.
any opinions?
Please do not treat this as a usual "whats better...?" post, I am talking about a hd install ( need a live cd for that) and want the end product not to be too far from the original distro (in this case debian)

A Kanotix install will get you closer to a pure debian install. There are some pros and cons you may want to consider...nothing too major. For instance I believe Kanotix only comes with a 2.4 kernel at the moment...so if you want 2.6 and don't feel like adding it (which Kano has a script to make easy) keep that in mind. Kanotix is also not a good idea if you have a system that's highly outdated. Both will give you good debian-based systems...my first choice would probably be Kanotix though.

well I want to get it finally running on my laptop. I have knoppix up an running but get plenty of errors during boot up. I thought I might give kanotix a chance as I have got both cds here ....
only tested knoppix so far and it is per fect concerning hardware detection.
p.s. forgot to mention I got a morphix cd as well - worth trying or not really competitive for what I want it for?

You know....Kano does say Kanotix is optimized for newer hardwaer but I actually installed Kanotix on a p166 w/ 96M ram. It's working fine w/ icewm and of couse it's much better than windows on that same box. Go figure.....
