The folks at "Lindows" are doing just that. ... and both Knoppix and Lindows are Debian based.
<<<<<<<< how much would it cost to drop a Knoppix disk in, make sure it boots, check that the network is accessible and sound comes out of the speakers, and then stick a "Linux-compatible" sticker on the machine? You could certainly still say that you don't provide drivers or support, and you could make sure the fine print says "tested with Knoppix version x.x: we offer no guarantee it'll work with other distros.") Most people who are looking for Linux compatibility will be satisfied with that: if it works under knoppix, then you know that there _are_ drivers for the hardware, even if you may have to do a bit of work to get 'em going under, say, Debian. <<<<<<<<<<< -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
