1 AristotlePagaltzis 1 WlugKnoppix is a [Linux] [LiveCD] designed to introduce new users to a [Linux] desktop without having to install [Linux] on their computer. See [Knoppix] for more information about the concept of [Knoppix] and [LiveCD]s in general.

3 Remember the WlugKnoppix CD exists only to give you an idea of what can be done using a Linux Desktop. It is a lot slower than your average Linux Desktop as it is running completely off the CD, many popular desktop linux distributions are also a lot more polished and use Gnome.

5 The [ISO] isn't yet available. It'll be linked here once it's ready and we have found somewhere to host it.

9 !! How to use WlugKnoppix
10
11 # Obtain a CD.
12 # Turn on computer, insert CD.
13 # You should see a screen with a [Knoppix] logo and a prompt down the bottom. Hit enter.
14 # [Knoppix] will start to boot and autodetect your hardware, eventually you should end up at a [Knoppix] desktop.
15 # Play :)
16
17 Currently the customisation of the WlugKnoppix CD is minimal: it has a custom home page with information about [WLUG] and the CD, and the RUTE Guide is available from the desktop. Therefor, all of the original [Knoppix] documentation applies.

19 Note: if your computer starts loading your normal OperatingSystem despite the CD in the drive, something is wrong. You probably need to change [BIOS] settings so it will try to boot from CD (on most computers this is the default). The CD might also be scratched or for other reasons unreadable.

23 !! Suggestions for future WlugKnoppix CDs
24
25 * [GNOME]-based instead of [KDE]-based, achievable using Morphix or Gnoppix, both [GNOME]/[Woody] [Knoppix]-based [LiveCD]s. Growing in maturity.
26 * If space on the CD becomes an issue, remove all the tetex-related packages?
