Hello,

If you are running on a low memory machine (less than 160 MB for KDE and less than x MB for Fluxbox) will Knoppix automatically boot up to a console?

Are there any programs that will output the total memory, speed of processor, and size and number of partitions of the hard drive(s) to the console screen?

Are there any Knoppix Linux environmental variables that can be used to print out the above? What I mean by environmental variables is things like $path that can be used in scripts.

If you use the cheatcode to boot to a console are the video and Xfree also configured during boot up (or are the resources saved by not initializing XFree) so that you could startx (or would init x be better) and go to a graphical environment if there is enough RAM listed in the console?

Thank you
Philip
