(clug-talk) Quick Debian Install

[Jeffrey Clement]

Just for interest...

I'm sure a lot of you now have seen/used Knoppix. It's a fantastic little distribution that runs entirely off the CD. It's based on Debian and includes all the goodies + awesome hardware detection.
I thought some might be interested in a script:

/usr/local/bin/knx-hdinstall (or something like that)

It's located on teh Knoppix CD and will install Knoppix to your harddisk complete with all the software it came with.

It's pretty slick and since Knoppix already autodetects all the H/W on bootup, what it copies over just works.

So if you like Debian but you want a really quick install...
