Huh! What's the point in having a Live CD and running it over a virtual pc??? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Knoppix 3.1 is decades old. (1 decade = 10 months) . KDE bundled with knoppix 3.1 is nothing when compared to latest KDE 3.2.x from Knoppix 3.4. Get hold of Knoppix 3.4 if you find any geek near u.

Anybody tried Gnoppix 0.6 ?

It has to look cool, its based on GNOME 2.6 :eek: :eek:

It is still 21 days away from its first release. I'm waiting for it. After that it will go in my download queue at hbcse

If you have a live CD, you just need to boot from it. For this, you may have to change the boot sequence in BIOS. You change BIOS settings by pressing (or continuously pressing, if its too fast) the DEL key when your machine starts. Select the CD-ROM as first boot device.

Then load the Knoppix (or any other live distro) CD and boot. Quite simple.

if u wanna run on virtual PC run a normal distro... as such Live CD distro's are slow because of constant Access to CD ROM and Compression...

Anyways how is the speed of Microsoft Virtrual PC.... I have run Linux on VMWare sometime back... while it worked flawlessly, it was mighty slow... (I ran RedHat 8 or 7.... was a long time back). But it screwed up my networking (I was using 2 Lan Cards and XP's builtin Bridging for 3 PC's)....
