Knoppix is an interesting idea for people looking to learn Linux without abandoning Windows first.

But I do have one small question:
Is there no way to change the ramdisk to a smaller size so you can free up more memory for applications? If your not going to load the whole OS into RAM then it seems a little excesive to have an 800 meg Ramdisk that is only going to get maybe 5% used at most.

Sorry if its a dumb question.
