Great timing just what I needed. Looks great sit back and get comfratable and read this thing. Thanks when you have used windows only forever it can be a little confusing. I'll be able to leave harry alone.
I have written a free book about Knoppix for beginners. It is called "Knowing Knoppix". It is in PDF format, and the original OpenOffice.org (sxw) source documents are also available. The book addresses Knoppix version 3.3. I realise 3.3 is a bit dated now but that is the version that was available when I started writing the book! It is licenced under the GNU Free Documentation Licence. Download from my page:

I would like feedback to help improve the guide. A printed version with a corresponding Knoppix bootable CD and boot floppy disk is also available by mail order for a small charge. It would be really nice if my effort could be mentioned on this site. Please note that the book is not for "dummies". Instead, it is for smart people who want - or need - to use Knoppix for the first time, without prior experience of Linux.

From your web site:
You may be better served using a Creative Commons license, they are the equivalent of GPL for creative works.Just as Knoppix is free, so is Knowing Knoppix. It is released under the GNU Free Documentation Licence. You are welcome to copy and redistribute it (subject to certain conditions). You will probably want to download the PDF version. The source archive contains the original documents in OpenOffice.org version 1.1.1 (SXW) format.
I downloaded the source files since I love OO for this kind of work, I don't mind to contribute if possilbe.

The source cannot be coralized as it is more then 4MB.
Basically the above URL's are coralized.That means that the content is cached to a nearby location.You can read more about coral's at http://www.scs.cs.nyu.edu/coral/overview/

This got front page mention on Slashdot today. Hope you have the bandwidth and don't pay wherever it's hosted by the amount of traffic. Maybe we'll be seeing more users here soon.
All the more reason to use coralized links which I mentioned in my previous post.Coralized links act like akamai and are specifically meant for slashdot like situation.Originally Posted by Harry Kuhman
Also I have uploaded the book and other stuff on p2p networks like edonkey,gnutella.So this also should help in reducing bandwidth usage.
