installing knoppix

[knopnoob2005]

@knopnoob2005: I know very well Mepis and Knoppix. First of all, Knoppix is not good for hdd installation. Kanotix is better. Second, installation of Knoppix / Kanotix is (for me) easier than this of Mepis - you have overview of everything before start of installation. 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.

Wow..you say that Kanotix is easier to install than Mepis?I`d really have to see that one for myself.Mepis has the best install package that I have ever seen,with five different ways to install:aveage install ,dual booting,custom install,merging home and root,re-installing on custom partitions...the list goes on...Anyways I`m going to re-install knoppix on mt hard drive just as soon as we can figure out(or someone just tell me)how to get libdvdcss2,libdvdread3,libdvdplay0,vdvrip,dvdbacku p onto my knoppix box.these are the programs that i used while running mepis to play my dvd`s and rip dvd`s.Untill that time it`s Mepis all the way.I just finished trying the new mepis 3.3.1-1 or something (released in june2005 I think)didn`t think it was much better than 2004 mepis(I actually like 2004 Simply mepis 3.3 the best,I think I would loike knoppix a bit better if I can get my programs to enable dvd watching and copying)I really like the look of the 3.9 desktop.Yup it`s hard drive install or nothing for me.I don`t know how anybody could run a live cd all of the time.how do you play a cd or a dvd.It`s so aesy to install knoppix on the hard drive(Irongeek helped a lot with his tutorial) that I don`t know what all of the fuss is about.And Mepis is even easier to install(on the hard drive) than any others that I have found...Actually I think I may set a dual boot with Mepis and knoppix,that might be fun for a while.Don`t forget my idea of fun is loading a new system on the hard drive and trying it out,even for only a few minutes sometimes.In the last month I have tried Damn Small Linux(didn`t like it)knoppix 3.6(not bad)mepispro(pretty good)simplymepis 3.3(Best one so far)SimplyMepis 3.3.1-1 (June 2005)I like 2004 SimplyMepis 3.3 the best,but I think I will like knoppix even better(On the hard drive and programs I want in place) ok...nuff for now ,I tend to ramble on now and then....have a good one...k
