One question, MSN for Linux, is there even one? Or do I have to go with one of the free extras. And, If I install it, will it be there when I reboot?? Chilling_Silence	Chilling_Silence (9)

It's great that Knoppix can be started completely from CD, it could be a useful tool in troubleshooting systems that can't start up Windows. It's a very nice environment to work in, much better than a DOS prompt ;) I've wondered about MSN for Linux also. I found a program that connects to AOL here (www.redhat.com). I suppose Wine might be able to install and run MSN, but I'm not sure. BTW, anything you install from the CD will disappear when you reboot I'm afraid :(	Rod J (451)

According to the package list GAIM is included with knoppix, but it may have been removed on the PC World version.	bmason (508)
