Re: Traditional Install or Knoppix?
Hershel,
I haven't tried Knoppix to Debian myself, though I have seen a number of
relevant posts. Apparently Knoppix is basically Debian unstable. Depending
on exactly what the differences are, it may be possible to simply update the
sources and do an apt-get upgrade to go to Debian unstable. I saw one post
from someone who tried this and managed to break their KDE, and am mainly
interested in whether others have tried this more succesfully. I'm not
familiar enough with Knoppix to know what changes have been made and what may
go wrong.
regards,
Darryl
