I made a Knoppix 6.2 flash drive from the poormans install I have on my desktop and it will boot in the lap top but not in the desktop. I have been tinkering with it a bit and I really like it. I never could get the internet to work on the poormans desktop install. I could ping google all day long but couldn't log on with any of the settings in preferences. I ran damn small linux in virtual machine and it had web.


Web works fine on the lap top booting from the thumb drive now. I still have not got a 6.2 cd to boot. I get a - KNOPPIX compressed image broken dropping you to a root shell- when using the : " toram" cheat code on the desktop. That cheat code gets it farther than anything I have tried. I may not have my ATAPI DVD writer configured just right for linux. Probably not getting a good burn.


I really do like 6.2 though, it may turn out to be my favorite. Synaptic runs much better once you get it on USB. I also like the way it displays the size of the hard drives and the available space at the bottom of the folder.

Virtual Machine is really awsome running a small program like DSL linux its the only one Ive tryed. I noticed you can't see outside of the virtual machine with the command line. I wonder if there is a work around for that?
