Sorry probono, Im at work on XP :UGGH
So I can't try it out.... Im just sat here waiting till hometime

I can't get internet access from anything except explorer here becuase of the way the proxy server is set-up.... So I can brwose my LAN from knoppix, synch my palm etc. (onto USB) but no Internet

BAH....

The linking sounds great, instead of holding anything even cooler, this allows I guess dvdcss etc as janmartin3 asks....

Im new to the deb world and apt is a big challenge...
(more what to do when deps go wrong... I wrecked my 1st install trying to force k3b >10)


On the same theme - some other license specific stuff could be added like qmail.... this is not officially deb becuase its source only distribution, its just a policy difference between the programmer and Debian.... but the debs are available elsewhere

Also the new NVIDIA driver is 'just' released (which I ain't tried yet)

Perhaps some of these 'tricky' installs would be perfect candidates get get some momentum going....

Your right, this depends 100% on the community....

IMHO you shouldn't handle Morphix et al because its up to them to write in compatibility. However one exciting area would be a USB stick install that use click to get all the packages that won't fit on a 64MB or 128MB dongle ???

Once AGAIN.... this REALLY is cool.....
I'm not against the Debian philosophy at all BUT it needs to be a philosophy of many.... Im now realsising how much superior Debian is to RH derived distro's.... and I guess it all goes back to a stable base....

To my mind knoppix is a great fork from this base and then gnoppix/morphix et al are forks from this......
Just as knoppix needs to maintain deb compatibility then so do these need to maintain knoppix compatibility.

The way to do this is getting it integrated into the regular 3.4 (if you still have time)
