I have a quick side question with this issue I'm having from the net
install versions of 'woody' and 'sarge' not detecting my Marvell Yukon
GigE. If I use a live CD like Knoppix or even any other to boot, is
there any way to switch to Debian midway or afterwards? Is there even
a difference between these versions?
If you _boot_ from a LiveCD, no, I don't know of any way to switch to
Debian later.
However, it is possible to install some of these LiveCDs to your hard
drive, boot from that, then convert to Debian. I believe Kanotix is
probably best suited for that.
Yes, there are differences between the various LiveCDs. Some are based
on Debian; some on Mandrake; etc. Knoppix is a mix of Debian Stable,
UnStable, and perhaps others, and therefore is not a good base for
converting to Debian later. Kanotix is specifically designed (IIRC) to
converting to pure Debian after the install.
