What do they do and where are they available? http://www.mepis.org/ http://www.knoppix.org/ They are bootable CDs containing a working debian-based distribution. They are handy for system repair, hardware diagnostics, etc. You can also install them to your hard drive in lieu of a 'normal' debian install, but be aware that the resulting installation isn't 'pure,' it will be somewhat different from a straight debian install. For instance, under Mepis, su:root is allowed to run X programs and the default runlevel is 5 rather than 2. They come pre-loaded with KDE, Open Office, etc. Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
