1 cd distro

what would you guys consider the best distro that only requires 1 disk, hopefully 1 that is fairly easy to install, plz, i dont want any live distro's that give you the option to install.

i currently use Yoper, if that is the best, then i feel good about my decision to install it

Knoppix, or theres another one, called Knottix, and theres Gnoppix. I've used Knoppix several times, but the after 3.3, the installers always seemed to be broken. But knoppix was never meant for the hard drive, knottix was. I just recently heard of Gnoppix, look into that see if you like it.

What is the best wil be a subjective opinion. I just do a basic install of Debian with the net-install cd and install what programs I need as I need them over the internet. Ubuntu is new and based on Debian Sid (1CD).

I have heard good things about ArchLinux but haven't tried it out.

Ubuntu looks promising, indeed. I like VectorLinux 4.0 SOHO. It runs my laptop -> sweet. Uses very few resources, keeps the batteri running a long time. A very fast system, too.

I recommend ubuntu

IMHO, Knoppix 3.6 using the recommended "beginner: with HW detection" option. Boot from the liveCD, do `sudo knoppix-install` and away you go.
