    Impressed!! I'll Say!!

    Just downloaded Knoppix and I'm really impressed.

    The thing that struck me the most is that the hardware detection got all my stuff right including my netcard/cable connection without me having to do anything at all.

    Just a little gripe, How do I get Knoppix to remember what I put in at the boot line?

    Mine has to have a few parameters to get X working properly though.

    Keep up the good work!

    What parameters did you use to get X working? I have been having trouble with that...
