Knoppix'S days over?



"To install KNOPPIX to harddisk a linux swap partition of at least 1GB 
and an empty linux partition formatted with an ext3 file system of at 
least 13GB is needed."

This is about Knoppix 5.2, released in July 2007, which release I 
missed. Can anybody explain why 14 GB of disk space are needed to 
install Knoppix?

This doesn't look good:

"After copying KNOPPIX to hard disk a GRUB bootloader can be 
installed. An existing bootloader will be overwritten.
If the *bootloader is installed, only the KNOPPIX installation can be 
booted*. Booting other installed operating systems or adding KNOPPIX 
to an existing bootloader is not implemented."

No mention of multimedia support either. 

Herr Doktor Nikolaus Klepp might very well be right then. Maybe Klaus' 
interests have shifted and "Knoppix days are quite over".

Well, certainly he'll keep doing something right, but it's really too  
bad for Knoppix.
