Yes, Harry. I can't justify buying a SCSI or IDE DVD Burner special for the old thing.

Actually, I had never thought of Knoppix as being for run from CD, not install. I always thought it was to "Try it out and TEST from CD", then install, but I guess you would know better than I.

Yes, the USB 1.1 has been impossible to find support for.

What's nice about the old thing is that it has a joystick port and Soundblaster card, which most old games were designed for, and does have PCI as well as AGP and IDE slots.

Debian is loading now. Its only trouble is that in the past its been resource greedy and hasn't been able to run the games either.
