Hi:

I am looking for a distribution as Knoppix. Knoppix is perfect for me, but it is too big for my needs. I need a distro with Knoppix's apps, like netcardconfig -it is excellent-, autoconfiguration and a good hardware detections, as Knoppix. I need also a good compatibility with Debian, so I can install and upgrade packages through apt-get, without getting corrupted.

As I had said, Knoppix is too big for me. I do not need X, KDE, multimedia, everything but a base system Debian compatible.

I had tried Damn Small Linux, but it is not enough compatible with Debian. I installed some packages on it and when i rebooted it from Live-CD it was corrupted.

Is there any light version of Knoppix, any striped out version without X and KDE? I think it would be a great idea to provide it, in a tarball or whatever.

Do you suggest me other distro? I prefer an updated distro. Thank you!
