Some things are different and you can setup and configure on some other way, that's all. BTW, did you see this: http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/knoppix1 - it is a bit big and slow, but it can be save on hdd.
Hello...I did see the irongeek stuff and I did install knoppix 3.9 on my hard drive.Only a few bugs.number one is that I can`t download libdvdcss2 or dvdrip or dvdbackup or libdvdread3 or libdvdplay0..tried and tried but no luck...I noticed that there weren`t as many sources on the repository list as in mepis...could that be it? Actually I installed it twice...first time I did the beginner install and all of a sudden my sound card was not detected any more.so right away I did a re-install doing the exact cd copy instead of the debian one..sound card worked again only there was no sign in and I had no idea what the root password was.I could get into root access by clicking on the penguin and opening up a root shell,but it seemed too hokey.I like to be able to get into root the normal way.I do like the look of the desktop.does anybody know what steps to take to cure my op problems?All I want is to be able to back up my boughten dvd`s for safekeeping.And I like to watch my dvd collection on my computer.I couldn`t do that with knoppix so I re-installed mepis 3.3.In no time at all I was watching dvd`s again.How does one get these programs onto a knoppix box?If I can do this I would re-install knoppix on the hard drive.That`s what you call good clean fun...lol
