knoppix 6.2 en - open office not working

[Harry Kuhman]

...please don't tell me to stay away from hd install - this does not work - it is equal to say me to stay away from linux at all ...

There is a special version of Knoppix just made for hard disk install. It is called "Debian". Install that and you will avoid all of the known problems that are seen when "installing" the Knoppix CD or DVD that are intended to be live CD/DVDs.

I can assure you that avoiding installing the Live disc does work, I've avoided doing it for years.

Does Debian have the hardware-detection and setup capabilities of Knoppix? Knoppix 6.2.1 did an amazing job of finding everything on my laptop.
