Hello Wayne - 

WC>> Check out www.undercoverdesign.com/dosghost I believe it
WC>> is, enter, find Linux link and more information is
WC>> revealed about different releases including Knoppix.
WC>> There's a link to Knoppix home page where yo can purchase
WC>> the CD or download your connection speed dependent. 

CA>> There are links at my website to mini-Linux and links to
CA>> Knoppix and other larger installs. :-) 

WC> I know but I like your fast loading compatible web site,
WC> people should see well crafted HTML in action once in a
WC> while. 

Nice of you to say that and glad that you can enjoy it. :-) 

WC>> I partitioned my drive after defragging it using tools I
WC>> was familiar with on a mini-Linux that can boot from 2
WC>> floppies or the hard drive in DOS. The mini-linux creates
WC>> a RAMDRIVE of 16 Meg and I split my partition beyond where
WC>> Windows left off. 

CA>> Of the mini-Linux listed at my website I would recommend
CA>> one of the GreyCat versions for those interested in a very
CA>> very small Linux install. 

WC> Greycat bombed here failing to install for some reason :-( 

I've read other similar comments but both installs of Greycat
Linux worked here on my equipment (one includes a GUI and early
Netscape). 

CA>> Might be worth mentioning that to burn the Knoppix ISO
CA>> image to a CD requires a CD burner that can do an
CA>> 'over-burn' meaning an oversized burn greater than the
CA>> standard 650meg burn. If the burner can't do that no
CA>> reason to download the ISO file. :-) 

WC> Well there Charles you've experience that I lack lacking
WC> such a burner but I had heard that's a requirement. 

Unfortunate that Klaus Knopper felt it was necessary to push
the envelope. Many others who cannot do 'over-burns' are shut
out as well. :-\
