questions hotplug

[jxn]

knoppix is great! but I wanna try another distro that wont take up that many disk space when permanently installed.

1. Im having trouble with slax, its hotplug doesnt seem to work in my laptop. I tried knoppix and it detected most of my hardware. So my question is there a way i can somehow copy the hardware-detection software of knoppix to slax?

I really dont know which packages are responsible, so any help with be great.

2. Knoppix dont come with battery-management software for my laptop. Where do I get that?


I really like slax bec. its small and runs pretty fast. Knoppix is slow for me, and there's just too many apps included and leaving me confused.

there are many knoppix derivatives that is small and faster(because of the window manager used). Why bother to do that port ?
