Hello Tom - 

CA>> I seem to recall that the settings can be saved to a
CA>> floppy? 

TW> Yes there is a way you can store some of the Setup on a
TW> f;loppy. BUT first you need to make the fool program work
TW> properly FIRST. I have only made two tries and was
TW> unsucessfull both times. One time I couldn't get it to
TW> print a document. It did the printer test fien though. 

I haven't used a printer on my computers in over 15 years and
did not make an exception when testing the KNOPPIX CD. 

TW> And in both tries I coldn't get it to connect to the
TW> Internet. Adn that was the REASON for wanting a linux
TW> machine. To have a Lean and Mean Internet machine. 

I have only winmodems here right now and cannot test that
function of KNOPPIX. Would that be the problem for you as well
(only winmodems)? 

TW> Adn incidently I have a copy of Corel Wordperfect for
TW> LINUX(My favored Wordprocessor) incase I live long enough
TW> to make Linux work o none of my computers. 

KNOPPIX is very good at auto-detecting hardware compared to
other Linux 'installs'. You should be able to find someone who
can assist you if you have a hardware modem. For the printer
problem I really can't say why it would not work for you.
