What is Knoppix? (Was: Why is X-config not so easy as Knoppix ?)
Salve,
first thanks for your hints and tips to run X with woody on my laptop.
I solved it with a combination of woody's Xfree86-config-4 file and a
config file I found in the Internet.
Knoppix is my tip for you to test if laptop hardware is supported. With
Knoppix-CD you can start a live system without writing on the hd,
automaticaly reconizing hardwardware... - just 2-3 minutes waiting and
your system from CD is running.
Knoppix show me that my externel USB-Sounddevice U2A from
Egosys is running fine :-)
What is knoppix?
KNOPPIX is a bootable CD with a collection of GNU/Linux software, automatic
hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI
and USB devices and other peripherals. KNOPPIX can be used as a Linux demo,
educational CD, rescue system, or adapted and used as a platform for
commercial software product demos. It is not necessary to install anything on
a hard disk. Due to on-the-fly decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of
executable software installed on it.
