Re: Knoppix on new computer

Hey there, mouse detective,

Knoppix, by its nature, is a live distribution that runs from the CD (or DVD) so you don't need to install it. You can create a persistent home directory to save your settings and any files you might be working with, and that's a good idea. However, if you do decide to install it (you'll get better performance) be warned that you will be partitioning and formatting your drive.

Hope that clears things up.
