Hello:

I am sampling Linux with the Knoppix 3.6 Live cd.

I have 3 basic questions to help me decide if I want to use it or go with the Debian install.

As a first time user I think I adapted fairly well in one day however there are a couple things I can not understand.

1. When I try to save my configuration to floppy it appears to have been saved. However if I click on the floppy icon on the desktop it says the file is not available. Any help with this is appricated.

2. I have an intel based computer with a pci modem. The modem was not found and configured. I did not notice this at first because I was connected the first test on a highspeed through lan.

I decided to connect my external serial modem and it was found just fine. Can anyone tell me why my other moder was not found?

3. Last thing may seem simple but I am just confirming this. I am only testing this on a test computer the first day not my regular machine. I do believe from everything I have read that the program does not touch my hard drive in any manner. I ask because I can read the hard drive and see the contents. Just want to make sure everything is run from ram.

Thanks
Vince
