Re: accessible debian live cd
Hello,
I'd recommend using one of the primary (first listed) mirrors for
download, since I don't check the others frequently.
One thing I forgot to mention: In Knoppix 8.6.0, the 32bit kernel is
somewhat broken (needs to limit memory by mem=800), so rather use boot
option
adriane64
or
adriane mem=800M
than just "adriane", depending on your CPUs bitness.
This will be fixed in 8.6.1.
nethack can be installed like in any Debian distro-based by
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nethack-console
Same for surfraw.
Regards
-Klaus
