[CLUE-Tech] Installing Knoppix [to HDD]

[David L. Willson]

I've done 3 or four KNOPPIX hard drive installs.  All of them went well,
except one, but that machine has also declined Fedora and SUSE.

If you think that's cool, be sure to try the KNOPPIX terminal server,
too.  Half a dozen clicks, and you have a TS that will net-boot your PXE
compliant workstations.  I've used it to build workstations with no
removable media, and to do emergency data recovery on non-bootable
systems with no removable media.
