	Knoppix gives bootable, one-disk Linux
		Knoppix's inventor, Klaus Knopper, is himself a trainer who launched the Knoppix project "in between 1999-2000," in his recollection, as an educational project and to meet his own requirements.
		Knoppix can also be viewed as a "least common denominator": its purpose is to get the computer running with as little delay or human assistance as possible.
		Knoppix manages a wide variety of hardware and quickly brings it to a state that is useful to humans.

	Knoppix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Knoppix, also spelled as KNOPPIX, is a computer operating system which can be used as a live CD.
		Knoppix mostly consists of free software, but also includes proprietary software.
		Memory usage: By default, Knoppix runs the KDE environment, requiring at least 128 MB of RAM and substantial startup time; CD and DVD drives are typically slower than hard drives, particularly when used as boot devices for uncompressing a live operating system on the fly.

	Knoppix Knowhow
		Knoppix is a Linux distribution optimized to store and boot on a single CDrom, without requiring any space on the host computer's disk.
		Knoppix has one of, if not the, best hardware detection systems around, so if a computer is capable of running Linux at all, it will probably run Knoppix.
		A Knoppix success doesn't guarantee you'll be able to install and enjoy your favorite distro on a computer, but it certainly reduces the odds of buying the wrong computer.

	System recovery with Knoppix
		Knoppix, which is a complete bootable Linux on a CD, has become my rescue disk of choice.

		Knoppix Customizations are unoffical Knoppix modifications, including Oralux, with a number of braille drivers, the Norwegian-language SkoleKNOPPIX, and many more.

	Remastering Knoppix
		One thing to understand is that the Knoppix CD stores most of what's important in a compressed filesystem, a single file.
		I would recommend using one of the lightweight window managers available with Knoppix - you're not going to use the GUI much while you're remastering, and the memory you save will be well used for building compressed file systems and the like.
		Knoppix has a lot of custom scripts, and this breaks lots of them (I tried it once).

		Proper Knoppix volumes are lacking in the wild, with mere chapters in general Linux books dedicated to larger issues for both the novice and the intermediate user.
		One or two Knoppix books are out there and one by Samuel Hart is in press (Knoppix Komplete) but what sets Knoppix Hacks apart is not the sheer dearth of books available on the subject but Rankin's skill in exposing the underutilized potential in the Knoppix tool set.

		Possibly the greatest advantage of Knoppix, as opposed to similar live CD projects, is its ease of use.

	Chapter 6: Flash Knoppix --running Knoppix from Compact Flash
		Knoppix 3.3 introduced cheatcodes "tohd" and "fromhd" (and "toram") to load Knoppix onto a hard drive, and subsequently execute from the saved image.
		Knoppix will take exclusive control of the partition it boots from, so saving configs to it or using it for your home directory will not work.
		With the advent of Knoppix 3.4, the lilo.conf file needed to change to reflect new path names, and (due to a change in the newer version of lilo) the "boot" path argument needed to be fully qualified.

		Knoppix is awesome, but books about Knoppix act as icing upon the already delicious cake.
		Knoppix is a Live CD, as is Kanotix, but where Knoppix just won't run well if you actually install it (sure, you can, but I wouldn't), Kanotix is an excellent Live CD AND an excellent installed OS.

	Knoppix 4.0 DVD - Like a Kid in a Candy Store
		In the case of Knoppix 4.0 I imagine the DVD being handed out at LinuxTag will be pretty similar in features and software to what gets released to the general public.
		Knoppix 4.0 includes UnionFS as well, so if Knoppix somehow doesn't have the software you need included on the DVD, you can use either the KPackage or Synaptic graphical packaging tools, or apt-get from the command line to install directly to the ramdisk just like with an installed Linux distribution.
		The cheat-code "knoppix 2" doesn't work for me. I have a nice little 8" monochrome monitor on my workbench that I use when I build servers or do repairs (I don't have enough space for a full-size/color monitor).
