You can install the contents of the CD onto a HD and then use the debian apt to install/remove packages. There are some instructions on the knoppix website about customizing the CD so you can make your own and put on it what you need and configure the boot the way you need. There are other live-cd distros that you can look into as well. I tried knoppix only and it's pretty impressive in terms of autodetection and autoconfiguration of the hardware it runs on. The drawback of running a show off a CD is that it risks to be less efficient than off HD. But I haven't tried knoppix on a really fast machine (best was a celeron 800Mhz or somesuch with CD-ROM reader at 48x I think) and it was considerably slower off a CD than off HD after installation. Test a lot. -- _ __ __ (_)___ Michal Seta / \/ \ _/^ _| / V |_ \ @creazone.32k.org (___/V\___|_|___/ http://www.[creazone]|[noonereceiving].32k.org _______________________________________________ csoundtekno mailing list [email protected] Subscribe, unsubscribe, change mailing list options: http://plot.bek.no/mailman/listinfo/csoundtekno
