Hi I'm new to Linux. Am actually considering Linux because of Cinelerra, which is a video editing software that runs on Linux. Currently I am running on WinXP. Can I use Knoppix as a boot disc and install Cinelerra on my hard drive and run it that way? Or do I need to have Knoppix running as an opsys on the HD instead of WinXP?
Much appreciate your input!!
If you set aside a partition that Knoppix can write to there's
no problem in booting Knoppix of CD and keep software and settings
on the drive. I don't think that trying to use Knoppix with NTFS
would be a good idea, though.
That would certainly speed up Knoppix boot-time and over-all
performance ... I find Knoppix good for a look&see, but to
actually WORK with it I'd recommend a hard-drive install.
If you want to 'look and see' a live CD with Cinellera you can download the dynabolic LIVE CD
it contains Kino, Cinelerra and LiVES, to edit video and publish clips
