| 101703 | 2002-11-26 22:15:00 | For a little info on Linux Compared to Windows, Check here: pressf1.pcworld.co.nz Knoppix is Linux that boots/runs fully off the CD - Wont be touching your HDD. It runs fully in RAM and when you restart your PC and take the CD out, you're back to normal as though youd never heard of it. pressf1.pcworld.co.nz will tell you howto get Knoppix to boot from the CD. And then, If you want to finally fully switch to dual-booting Linux and XP, then have a look here about makeing it more permanent: pressf1.pcworld.co.nz NZ_Liam also runs http://www.linux-shop.co.nz for linux software. Hope this helps with the basics of Knoppix. Cheers Chilling_Silence |
