What Live CD would you recommand?
I have tried Knoppix and I like it but I have a few problems that I have not been able to fix so I am wondering what other Live CD would people recommand that I try?
The problems with Knoppix that I have is that it does not detect my parrallel and serial ports, which makes me not able to get my printer to work, and the other is my modem is detected but I can not use it.
What Live CD would you recommand in order to get these two issues to work? Thanks.
EDIT:
Also what Live CD would be able to open MAC floppy disk?

I would recommend kanotix, maybe BH8 or BH9. They seem to detect a few more things for me than knoppix after I hd installed both. I later went with kanotix because of that reason. Santa fe linux is also pretty cool. Can't hd install yet because that install version I don't believe is available yet. Mandrake Move Live got me to install mandrake community 10.1 to one of my partitions. Now I run Kanotix, Mandrake 10.1, Red Hat 9 and XP.

Thanks, rrfish72. Do you know if Kanotix can open a mac floppy disk?

las is rather nice. i cant remember mandrake move but it didnt seem that bad.
helix is also good but because you can run it while using windows for forensic based stuff.
i like to either mix las and helix or knoppix and helix
helix has a built in vnc server so you can connect to it using las or knoppix.

For a small 20MB download and CD burn, with SFS-KNOPPIX you get the cloop files via the internet from Japan. See SFS-KNOPPIX in NEWS forum.

Without a doubt!
I have downloaded and tried over 75 different Live CD's. I would recommend Stux over all of the rest of them. Stux is easy to work with even for beginners. Stux is the absolute best Live CD!
