His CD is a gem though. Thanks to you (and the others) for sharing your insights. I tend to agree and after beeing able to get my hands on a current version of the installer I don't see why I should use Knoppix for my permanent Linux boxes. The installation is running at the moment, but after having a peek at /proc/pci the installation with the new installer looks **very** good to me. I'll still use Knoppix to show Linux to co-workers though ;-) Cheers, Mariano -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
