is it? could i install it to the hard drive and boot from hard drive without having to repartition everything?

does the fact that i only have 512 ram have anything to do with it?

Knoppix does not run all that bad (IMHO) from a CD. Knoppix is "supposed" to run from the CD and does a good job of it.

Yes, hard drives are faster. But there are issues with "installing" Knoppix on a CD, which it was not designed to do. Some people do it anyway. In some cases it more or less works, but many people have a lot of problems.

There is an entire forum for discussing hdd install. This question belongs there, not here. Even better, you would learn a lot by reading through many of the existing posts in that forum rather than expecting peole to retype all of the information contained there.
