Product Details
Introducing KNOPPIX version 5.01
With 5.0.1 KNOPPIX moves from a "Live
Distribution" to being a "Full Distrobution". The KNOPPIX 5.0.1 Live CD
contains updates and bug fixes from 5.0 which saw some major changes in
the
unionfs-based file system, new hardware detection and
autoconfiguration, and a more "genuine Debian" oriented selection of
packages. Apart from this, the harddisk install option ("knoppix-installer")
has been extended by Martin Öhler, based on the work of Fabian
Franz,
featuring a "live update" of specific packages from a new version of
the live DVD or CD.
KNOPPIX
can be used as a productive Linux system for the desktop, educational
CD, rescue system, or adapted and used as a platform for commercial
software product demos.
