Why would you want it to run entirely from CD?

No need to create a partition on hard disk and install it separately. Just insert the cd-rom in drive and set option in bios to to boot from cd-rom and you have a system running linux for you. Take out cd-rom reboot the system and you are back in windows. It runs even on a 486 machine.

Excellent option for those who want to explore Linux.

softwares exist on hard disk

The Knoppix Linux is a good distribution for all the people that want to test and learn about this OS. But if you want to get into the system deeply I recomend to install an standard distribution on the hard disk (Debian, RH...)

So, it means that Knoppix Linux is suitable for new user of linux, right?? If I need run some EDA tool, this version of linux is not a good choice ??

knoppix Linux is a good OS. It's great while you just wanna try out linux and do not wish to mess up your current HDD/OS.

You can use it as a test drive without paying a lot of cost if you don't like it later.

But, if you plan to use linux for some serious stuff, it's not that recomanded to use it.

Knoppix question

I tried this knoppix linux in my machine. It has a great interface, bunch of software bundles, and is indeed a good option for linux newbies like me.

However, I encountered several problem, and see if you guys have any clues:

(1) my cable connection was OK with XP. But it doesn't seem good with knoppix. Is there any setup that I skpped?

(2) when I tried to tar the synopsys 's syn_2002.05-SP1_linux.tar, it says something like " Read-only directory". I think I did the "chmod 777." in the current directory.

(3) Anyone tried to install synopsys linux tools in Knoppix? What should I do with taz file?

Thanks for your time.
