I guess you can.. just use apt-get to do whatever you want ..

it could be something like

Code:

root@1[knoppix]# apt-get install -t unstable gnome-core

or run "apt-cache search gnome" for more info

Good luck

no, but the thing is i am a newbie and have just got knoppix set up how i like and was wondering if i could install gnome, i am currently looking at fedora and red hat as my next distro to try, i did have mandrake but never got it working as i could not make it past the commane to startx, so i gave up and knoppix started straight away!
