I like knoppix. It's easier to install then Windows. LOL. Takes a little while to start up. On my moms 2 year old laptop it took a little while to start programs. thats b/c the laptop has a slow cdrom. but other then that its good.

um you don't install knoppixl, you just run it off the CD.... But I guess that would be easier to install than Windows!!

Linux can run on really old computers, and you'd be amazed at the performance boost you can get out of a computer by running Linux on it instead of Windows.

lol im a bit late
this it totally true. i got redhat7 on an old 486 and it runs much better than win98se. win98se never crashed on it, but it was hella slow and w/ pws it froze every hour. now w/ redhat 7 and apache, i never once crashed

Edit: Fixed this problem..

Problem: Could not figure out how to get Knoppix into pure English.

Soultion: type "knoppix lang=en" at boot line

the file from http://www.cpubuilders.com/support/cbic ... guide.html

Extract the files using

tar -zxvf ltmodem - 8.26a9.tar.gz

Change to the directory just created

cd ltmodem - 8.26a9

Extract source files necessary to installation

tar zxvf source.tar.gz // I got to here but I don't know how to do the rest... can you help me?

Build the kernel modules

./build_module // all i have to type here is "build_module" and it does it for me?
Install the modules using

./source/ltinst2 // it could not find ltinst2 program

Setup the modules to load automatically using

./utils/lt_autoload

Verify that the configuration is correct using

./utils/lt_checkout
