One of the results of the way Linux is developed is that old hardware tends to work better than new hardware. Try knoppix on a new notebook and it is less likely to work.
At some point I will probably put a second drive in my Dell and try Linux again. I probably will not try to download a version though. I don't have a CD writer at work, and I don't have broadband at home. I estimate it would take about 60 hours to download one CD worth of data at home, and I doubt that my dialup would stay connected that long. -----Original Message----- From: Per Jessen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 11:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Gnome On Wed, 5 Mar 2003 14:43:06 -0800, Fargusson.Alan wrote: >Are you telling me that you can guarantee that this will work on any system? No. But the fact that it works on my 5 year old Toshiba laptop seems a good indication. Laptops have always been difficult at best, so when knoppix installed immediately, well. Apart from that, I have installed Linux & KDE more times than I care to remember - it /does/ work. >Also, I think you missed the part ware I said I was installing on a Macintosh, >which knoppix does not support. Sorry, I did miss that bit. /Per regards, Per Jessen, Zurich http://www.enidan.com - home of the J1 serial console.
