Questions on running wget

[Cuddles]

NuxIT,

Harry points out one of the nice things, and, some of the "bad" things, that come with a Distro...

What comes "pre-packaged" on the CD, and does it "automatically" get installed.

If you want something close to Knoppix, Kanotix is as close as you can get... If you want to keep things as "clean" as possible, and do the "adding" after the install, May I suggest that you look for a Kanotix ISO that has "LITE" in its name... These installs will have, very few, "pre-installed" packages... This would leave you to having to install almost everything you want, over-and-above, say hardware detection and KDE, getting KDE's Office install instead of, say, OpenOffice... and such.

Even Kano, and many of the "followers" of Kanotix, will agree, after the HDD Install, of Kanotix, that, it does become a "complete" Debian SID install... I just like having all of Kano's scripts, and the hardware detection, not to mention a majority of stuff being set up for me.

Good Luck on your decision, but, then again, any Linux Distro, IMHO, is better than the best "Windows" OS - already

Thanks again Cuddles. I'm going to try Kanotix next. I'll look into the "lite" distribution as well. The knoppix site appears to be in German. That doesn't mean the distro is German only does it? I'm going to give this a whirl come this weekend and see how it goes. I like how feature-rich Knoppix was and all the built-in networking utilities so I"m hoping the basic load of Kanotix will be similar and be about a 2 gig footprint to leave me 500megs for random storage needs.
