How long does it take you to boot to login promt from a complete shut down. I ask because I keep reading that Linux starts up faster than Windows, but mine takes longer. It take around 4.5-5 minutes to get to the login promt and then about 1 minute after that to get to desktop.
Sorry if I do not make sense, Linux/Knoppix is very new to me, have tried just about all the major disto's with very little luck. Knoppix was a dream to use and install, booted cd a few time and then desided to install on HD, quicker and easier than Windows. That was before I even found this site. Read in a mag to just type in knz-hdinstall. to easy.
