[ale] Knoppix

[Robert L. Harris]

On a knoppix note, I've only had one problem.

I took a 3.2 CD to my father's when I was on vacation so I could ssh
home and check my mail, system logs, etc.  The only problem was that at
boot time it recognized the USB keyboard (I could put in boot options)
but once it was up in X It would take input from the usb mouse but not
the keyboard.

Thus spake griffisb at bellsouth.net (griffisb at bellsouth.net):

> Knoppix also worked great on an older laptop I got off e-bay. I used it to figure out problems I was having with Mandrake 9.1 and SuSE Personal 8.2. It definately belongs in the tool kit (Knoppix 3.3 for 09-22-03 worked really well. I had problems with Knoppix 3.2 on my wife's HP laptop).
