I tried installing regular Debian instead but it hung up during
installation. So I am back to knoppix. Is there a way in a hard disk
install with 1024 x 768 format chosen to stretch the standard
Austrian mountain backdrop to fill the whole screen? My stepson
has fallen in love with the exploding screens on Knoppix, and the
merry go round selection of desktops. I know it's eye candy but it
caught his eye.
