If I liked, say, Knoppix more than Debian I'd use Knoppix, > not Debian. I just think the hardware detection on the installer is better. Oh, yes, it was indeed non-sequitor. I wanted to make sure you hadn;t lost sight of the original. As far as Knoppix. I use it for hardware detection and to make sure machine are able to handle it proper, for those odd pieces that aren't quite able to be used by linux yet... or never will be (some Video cards for instance... FB doesn't work either...) It allows me to dress down a machine and do the work prior to installing a perma-install. I formerly used Knoppix as my chroot environment Debian installer for Woody on newer (unsupported) hardware. But, since things are progressing with d-i... I only use Knoppix for disater recovery for i386 based machines. d-i uses the exact same package Progeny does. Discover (1 and 2 I think) seem to be very good, just that sometimes it does get confused. Both on Progeny and on d-i. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
