    Saved the day (week) err ... year

    My bro had a boot problem with his Windows - Memory Full. So I got may Knoppix and put it in the CD. Everything worked except the screen size. Boot font was large. Only a large font choice in the gui. He fried his graphics card. Only three years usage on the original card. Added a new graphics card. (me dummy - I thought he had a AGP slot. It's a PCI )
    It worked. Knoppix is a great great tool!

    yeah its a great tool... i use it for backing up the system very usefully... especially when you have EXTREAMLY important work on it and cant get to it...

    also, its a great tool to learn about linux... you can play with linux without having to get your hands too dirty with HDD install... i have to thank knoppix for gettting me into linux... and now, i just plain dont like windows...
