Hi Ray,

I later learned that Knoppix is not installable per se, but it can be saved
to a HDD file and booted from there thereafter. So I don't think I can
install it.



try this link:

To install Knoppix, depending upon your version, there are minor changes in the install program, but, Version 3.9 to 4.0.2 you do this
1. open a console
2. type: sudo knoppix-installer
3. the menu of tasks will appear, and you should then open the partitioner and make a / and a swap, unless there are already those made, plus any others you desire.

A very important item is that Knoppix WILL format the entire drive just like all the other OSes will if you don't take charge and direct the QTParted program!

BUT, my disclaimer is this... all the above is subject to chane from time to time, revision levels to revision livel, and you should do as the previous poster stated and follow the instructions at http://knopper.net/knoppix and at the wiki!
