Knoppix then Morphix (which I am installing tonight....so maybe I'm getting ahead of myself)

Hi,

drake-live - I presume this is a Mandrake Live CD right?
Where can I get any info on this? I was going to get Knoppix, still am, but maybe I can get Drake-Live so I can test that out as well to see how much I like Mandrake.

Any info?

Thanks.

eBopBob 02-28-2004 08:58 AM

Just checking the Mandrake site, I presume Drake-Live would be MandrakeMove or something?
http://www.mandrakesoft.com/products/mandrakemove

Are these two the same, or am I wrong?



Also: I have a Pentium III 333mhz with 128mb sdram. What would be the best Live-CD to use? MandrakeMove says 128mb sdram is fine but it's better 256mb. Knoppix says 96mb/128mb sdram is needed.
Would it be best for me to use any other livecd distro? Would Knoppix be fine for me?

Thanks.

questionasker 02-28-2004 10:52 AM

yes, theyre the same. i was typing fast when i put up the poll, and just didnt raelize it.

i would say any livecd should work fine for you.

i have a PII 366mhz with 128MB ram and 16x cdrom, and all run fine for me.
this is my "test" machine.

Ok, thanks questionasker. :)

I think I'll try out Knoppix rather than MandrakeMove since I'm getting Knoppix on Monday, and compared the two and what packages come with both - and a lot more comes with Knoppix than it does with Mandrake move.

Thanks for the help. :)



Edit: Also, by any chance does Knoppix have the window manager Enlightenment? I was looking at all the different window managers and become very fond of http://enlightenment.org/pages/img/e...rm-desktop.png
Thanks. (PS: Does anyone happen to know what theme that is on the Enlightenment DR16 window manager?)

those are cheatcodes at bootpromt.

no, enlightenment isnt included. just those listed.

eBopBob 02-28-2004 01:20 PM

Thanks for that.

By XFCE I presume he means this right? http://xwinman.org/xfce.html
Although that's... a desktop, so I'm not sure if that's the correst one. Is there a window manager called Xfce?

Thanks for your help. :)

questionasker 02-28-2004 01:22 PM

yes, its a d/e and w/m. the site is xfce.org

eBopBob 02-28-2004 01:35 PM

Thanks for that questionasker. :)
Yes - I'm on their site, and have been looking at a few screenshots - all of which I think look really cool. I think I'll be choosing Xfce when testing out Knoppix. Might even use it instead of Kde when I purchase Mandrake.

Thanks for the help. :)

questionasker 02-28-2004 09:12 PM

wel, if i really was helpful, you can rate the thread...
i usually use something other than kde, but always seem to have to go back to it for awhile evey now and then.

haking live has no root protection so easy to use for recoverys etc. www.hakin9.org
