Now we have no excuse for not owning a rescue cdrom. Knoppix now
offers the 2.4.19-xfs kernel, so you can use it for most any
filesystem.
I downloaded and burned it (it's huge, of course) today, and it works
like a champ. All of my peripherals including sound are properly
detected and usable, and the network connection is usable.
Knoppix also has a built-in script to clone itself to a disk
partition, and that works (mostly), too. If you wanted an easy to
install debian, here it is. Just follow the instructions at
http://www.freenet.org.nz/misc/knoppix-install.html
I did this and got a bootable debian system with kde (old debian
diehards must be gritting their teeth!)
. A few notes:
1) Even though it went through the steps, my NIC was not configured
properly. The system comes up with only lo activated.
2) You will want to decline the offer to write grub to the mbr. Just
add the boot stanza to your lilo or grub setup manually (use vmlinuz
for the kernel name)
enjoy,
