Please don't hit me. I did look for something called "requirements" and didn't find it. Most of the docs I found were in German. I learned that "inhaltsvertzeichnis" means table of contents. The last paragraph of my "review" does say I was quite impressed. And I was. I believe Knoppix is a big step forward in ease of installation. As I recall, it only asked me one question about the hardware - giving a choice of no of characters per line and lines per screen. I chose 80x25 from about 10 choices. Everything else it found on its own. A number of attributes can be assigned or changed at boot time - I didn't study these or try any of them. Maybe I could have had a better screen - the monitor I was using is 1024x768 capable. I believe we will see more of Knoppix. bruce -- This is the [email protected] list.
