Re: KNOPPIX CD to check computer's linux compatibility?

What I'm looking for is a way to run quick compatibility checks with a
KNOPPIX CD on display computers in computer stores, something that could
be done in a matter of a few minutes per computer.
There seems to be some misunderstanding about this.
First, testing a computer with a KNOPPIX CD under the watchful
eyes of an impatient computer store salesperson who has no
knowledge of Linux whatsoever and doesn't want you to open the
computer to have a looksee is not the best environment for that
test.
So, the test would have to be quick, whether it is done with
graphics or typed commands. I prefer typing in commands but if
it can be done with KDE, that would be acceptable. It might
even demonstrate Linux to the watchful Linux-ignorant salesperson.
I realize that the surest way to do a Linux compatibility check
is to do a full installation of everything. But, how would you
perform a quick check with a KNOPPIX CD under the conditions
mentioned above? Specifics, please.
