KNOPPIX is a bootable CD with a collection of GNU/Linux <http://www.knopper.net/linux/> software, automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals. More info @ http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-info/index-en.html Where to get it? You can get it at any of these mirrors http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html Or use bittorrent @ http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/ What does it do? KNOPPIX can be used as a Linux demo, educational CD, rescue system, or adapted and used as a platform for commercial software product demos. It is not necessary to install anything on a hard disk. Due to on-the-fly decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software installed on it. ------------ All these questions were on the homepage of knoppix or at least a click away. http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
