Using Knoppix on the hard disk means no security updates, a system only upgradable to unstable, and a lot of possible problems for beginners. There are other Debian based distributions that are easy to install, have support by the distributor and are a much better choice for hard disk installations. No one will be shot for using Knoppix on his hard disk, but it is not the best idea to recommend it to newbies. I think there are better Debian based distributions for them. And let's not forget about distros like Mandrake and SuSE, that offer a lot more than Knoppix, and are also easy to install and use. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
