I think pureone was trying to say that he wants a Knoppix that installs and networking and other things that worked from the CD still work. Maybe even one where upgrading after an install will not break lots of things.

Ahh, I can see the first one being a possibility, but the breaking of porgrams during updates is just Debian Unstables way. The nature of the beast.

i ment i look forward to the day you can download a version of knoppix thats only ment to be installed. like suse, redhat , debian, etc etc. i heard that the only reason why they made it installable is because people liked it so much is that right?

Right, knoppix was never ment to be installed, it just happened.

... and many of us are grateful it did. Why do I have to go through 3 or more CDs and several complicated configuration options to get a basic OS and tools that get the job done? Basic job = web use, email, chat, IM (multiple accounts/protocols), graphic manupulation (beyond basic), multimedia (including CD ripping and burning), digital cameras support, office documents and a few good games.

My last attempt with a commercial distribution was SuSE 9x. You had to be a *nix guru if you wanted everything to run properly.

With Knoppix, you can get up and running in 1 hour, 2 if you a HD install. This includes networking, shared printers and HD in a Windows network.

The debian netinstaller is like that, only you need a high speed connection cause it downloads every.

But very easy nontheless.

you put the cd in on a machine that has windows 2000 you boot
bypassing all the log on security, the cd even mounts the local drive
you go to the local drive and you can copy, atache file in an e-mail
basicly take what you want from the drive
IS THAT GREAT OR WHAT,
i tesed it on two windows 2000 machine and i even got finacial files from one of my servers at work
This is cool

G'day I did the same here at government IT HQ!!! They at first said I was full of BS "that can't be done".

Needless to say I had them say that in front of the boss and then proceded to easly get on to the network.

I wish now I had not done that as one guy was "Replaced" but maybe for the better if his job is protecting my personal (government) files he should not be so cocky!

No way to protect the files from being accessed. They can be encrypted though to prevent usage.

What??? Better check again there as there are many ways of preventing access and encryption can be broken.

any way you can think of can be cracked/bypassed...
Atleast this is true as long as YOU can acess the files. the only real difference is how much effort has to go into the retrieval.
