I really don't care enough about it to track down the old discussions, but maybe the advice was less of "just give up" and more of "this wasn't really the right thing to do in the first place and there are lots of known problems with it that you are setting yourself up for".

There is no "right thing" for everyone to install. Some like Fedora. I have not looked at it but did try older Red Had versions and was not impressed, saw no reason to go after Fedora as Red Hat was trying to distance themselves from it. If you like Knoppix then I suggest at least looking at Debian, the distro that Knoppix is based on. I would suggest a Debian Etch (testing) net-install. But I am not saying that this is a better choice for you and your needs, whatever they are, than other Linux distros.

I will say that I can offer several reasons why it is a better choice than installing Knoppix, and I can't find a single reason to "install" Knoppix instead of Debian.
