[TriLUG] Installing Knoppix on hard drive revisited!!

[rob wildermann]

Easy way to install Debian? You may want to look seriously at Xandros,
a commercial Debian-based distro with a graphical installer. The base
version is $39.95. The installation can only be described as butt
simple.

If you want an idiot-proof dual boot where you resize an NTFS partition
using the graphical installer, you may want to consider the deluxe
version. ($99).

One more word of praise -- I have an older Toshiba Satellite 1555 CDS
laptop which has a history of frustrating Linux installations. (It
foiled even the mighty Tanner at an Installfest). I have failed with
several generations of Gentoo, Mandrake and Redhat. Knoppix doesn't run
off the CD. Xandros installed with no problem.
