    OReilly Knoppix Hacks 2nd.Edition



    If you think Knoppix is just a Linux demo disk, think again. Klaus
    Knopper created an entire Linux distribution on a bootable CD (and now a
    DVD) so he could use his favorite open source tools on any computer.
    This book includes a collection of tips and techniques for using the
    enormous amount of software Knoppix offers-not just to work and play,
    but also to troubleshoot, repair, upgrade, and disinfect your system
    without having to install a thing. Knoppix Hacks is just like the
    distribution it covers: a veritable Swiss Army knife packed full of
    tools. Scores of industrial-strength hacks-many of them new to this
    second edition-cover both the standard Knoppix CD and the feature-rich
    DVD "Maxi" distribution, which is included with this book. Discover how
    to use Knoppix to its full potential as your desktop, rescue CD, or as a
    launching point for your own live CD. With Knoppix Hacks, you can:

    - Investigate features of the KDE desktop and its Internet
    applications
    - Save your settings and data between reboots with persistent storage
    - Employ Knoppix as a system administration multitool to replace
    failed servers and more
    - Use the CD/DVD as a rescue disc to repair filesystems or a system
    that won't boot
    - Rescue Windows systems with Knoppix to back up files and settings,
    hack the registry, and more
    - Explore other live CDs based on Knoppix that could augment your
    system
    - Easily install the popular Debian GNU/Linux distribution with all of
    your hardware detected and configured
    - Remaster Knoppix to include your favorite software and custom
    branding
    Whether you're a new Linux user, power user, or system administer, this
    book helps you take advantage of Knoppix and customize it to your needs.
    You may just find ways to use Knoppix that you never considered.
