KNoppix 3.7 to HD? help!

[Harry Kuhman]

Is Debian a free download?.......

Yup. start here: http://www.debian.org/
You install what you want. You leave out what you don't want. You do a little work to set up the menu the way you want it and such, you learn by doing.

THanks, is this the right area? http://www.debian.org/distrib/cd

I just want to just download a single ISO file and put to disk, is thia possible?

wouldn't typing "sudo knoppix-installer" in the terminal program box do it for you, also?

[marhleet]

installing there is a cheat
knoppix tohd which is not well liked
after booting to the knoppix screen, you can
sudo knoppix-installer
to load it onto the hdd

for what is knoppix, once it's installed, it is Debian.

Much in the same way that if you bought a Lexus with a 2002 motor, a 2003 transmission and a 2004 ignition computer it might still be a Lexus. But you could expect less problems down the road if you just bought a Lexux from one model year than the above patchwork of equipment, and you can expect less problems woth Debian if you just install Debian rather than a mix of stable, unstable and experimental versions that is tuned well for running from a Live CD but not so much for installing to hard disk and updating and installing other stuff later.
