Thanks for pointing this out.

Cousin MLC ....

You're welcome ....

I did eventually download the PDF version
of the Knowing Knoppix book and have read
through about the first 30 pages ....

It's very understandable and well written
and I'm looking forward to reading the rest ....

Cousin Mike ....

I ran across the link for the Knowing Knoppix book
while looking for a download site for Knoppix 3.7,
which I ended up getting via BitTorrent downloading ....

I eventually downloaded the PDF version of the book
and it seems to be well written and understandable ....

Me too. It makes me wish to try Knoppix, but on dial-up I can't afford the
715764 KB download. I'll ask to some friends to do it for me. :-)

Cousin MLC ....

My initial experience with Knoppix
was only as a curiousity to try
and get a glimpse of what Linux
was all about and to see if the
hardware that I had would work with it ....

As a Rescue-CD, it eventually saved my proverbial bacon
back in April of last year when a failed NIC card install
left my Win98_SE system totally un-bootable,
even from a Windows boot floppy disk
that has never failed here before ....

In that case Knoppix 3.2 booted right up
with no problem at all and convinced me
that my Win98 system was still in tact
and most likely fixable, it eventually was ....

I did a couple of Knoppix HDD installs,
but found them a bit problematic, and then
migrated to a pure Debian GNU/Linux installation
which I've been using since July 2004 ....

For limited bandwidth, if you can't find someone
to download for you, Knoppix CDs are available
at very low cost from many sites ....
