Re: knoppix 5.0 is out...

John,
Thanks for the update on Knoppix. My enthusiasm is less
than normal for Knoppix because I'm really tired of having
questions and no place to get answers -- which includes the
WWW.KNOPPIX.NET forums and various Debian newsgroups. I
have two Knoppix books (Wiley's Knoppix for Dummies and
Hacking Knoppix) that leave more questions than answers.
I guess what I'm saying is that until there is some first
class documentation, Knoppix is of little use to me. Such a
pity, because I have two applications that Knoppix (or other
Linux LiveCD) would be very helpful.
In all fairness, Knoppix is not the only LiveCD that gives
me pains. Ubuntu (latest version) will only boot in Safe
mode, won't detect or use my 1280x1024 display system, and
won't let me setup a printer.
Perhaps I'm expecting too much.
Dave,
