post hd-install comments and suggestions
hi
i just installed 2 knoppix on the hard drives of two complete newbies, who knew only windows before (including my mom!) and they feel really fine about it!!
though they wouldn't have been able to do the hd install themselves, they're now very comfortable with using their system!
i had though to do a few customization and things, and here are a few things i thought about, during all this:
- the "KNOPPIX" menu in the kde default profile doesn't stay after an HD install (minor)
- when scsi was once detected over ide, after installing a SCSI board detection doesn't work automatically until once forced by modprobing.
- the KDM default language was tchèque or something (minor)
- why not using supermount for the CDrom and floppy
- why isn't there a very simple GUI like "configuring your internet connexiont" which would give the choice between using a DHCP, pppoe, setupping kppp, etc... like making abstraction of the physical medium used by the end-user?
- why isn't there a script for grabbing more non-free stuff than flash? (like realplayer, libdecss, ... )
- why not including a few skinz for xmms? =)) (this may sound stupid, but this impress people *alot* 
- why not including gkrellm (when writing this i'm not sure it's not included already?...)
- why not making a very simple script, upon install, that would change the name of the default "knoppix" user to the user's choice? a "what is your name?" question at the beginning of the installation process would make that completely seamless to the user..
i hope these few things will be useful to you!
i say to everyone whom i give a knoppix CD to (8 or 9 so far!) : "if you like it, copy it 2 times and give it to 2 people you like who have never heard of linux."
many thanx an congratulations for surch a beautiful and well runned project!!
