I tried to install Knoppix few days ago, everything went fine but unfortunately my mouse died in the installation process. Guess the USB module couldn't succeed to load. Can't blame, my knoppix was very old.

Anyway the process to install knoppix is: Wait the links provided above is good enough. No use of redundancy.

Hi I agree that Knoppix is much better than UBuntu. Instead I say why ubuntu is great except for free disks u get.

to install knoppix oprn root console from knoppix menu
use command "knx2hd"

Ubuntu is way better for me then Knoppix when it comes to usage as a desktop OS. I really love the way knoppix is as a live cd.
BTW, how does knoppix differ from Ubuntu once you install it? Both are the same, both come from debian testing. So, how come you can say knoppix is better than ubuntu?
I rather feel the work done by ubuntu team really makes life easier atleast for me. And BTW they do contrbute it back to debian too so Debian and other Debian based systems can make use of their work.

Code:
knx-install
