Re: Knoppix on HD

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

There are custom versions of Knoppix available that have much less software 
install and I imagine they would take up much less HDD space, something like 
Gnoppix or Morphix might do, but I'm not sure if they come with the script to 
install them onto hard disk. YMMV

cheers,
DBC
