| Knoppix is a portable Linux distribution replete with
hundreds of valuable programs and utilities -- a veritable
Swiss Army knife in bootable CD form. It includes Linux
software and desktop environments, automatic hardware
detection and hundreds of other quality open source
programs.
Whether you're a system administrator or power user, you can
use Knoppix for many different purposes. Knoppix boots and
runs completely from a single CD so you don't need to
install anything to your hard drive. Due to on-the-fly
decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable
software installed on it.
What you do need, however, is a comprehensive reference
guide so you can benefit from all that Knoppix has to offer.
The Knoppix Pocket Reference from O'Reilly fits the bill.
This handy book shows you how to use Knoppix to troubleshoot
and repair your computer, how to customize the Knoppix CD,
running RAM memory checks, recovering data from a damaged
hard drive, cloning hard drives, using Knoppix as a Terminal
Server, using Knoppix as a kiosk OS, scanning for viruses on
a Windows system, editing the Registry of a Windows system,
and much more.
If you want more information than the average Knoppix user,
Knoppix Pocket Reference is an absolutely essential addition
to your personal library.
