Where to ask really newbie questions
Ok, just remember, you will be uncompressing files from the cd as you you run applications. In other words, it is going to be slooooow.
Well, I played with Knoppix. It was not as easy for me to get my lan connection going as it is on the Mandriva linux install. I run a multiboot setup, Fedora Core, ubuntu, Mandriva, xp home,....
Yes, but, you are running from cd. Kinda hard to install programs onto your cd.
Yes, it is also kinda hard to know the linux program name for a Micro$not name since Bill boy would sue if the names were the same.
These might help.
Bryan Heit Well, sort of. I believe all pointers these days, on 32-bit machines, are 32 bits. But they can only address 2^32 bytes, so if your array is of double-precision numbers...
You don't have to hope I have permission, I do. The organization I work for has a strict policy...
I do not know. I know I get upset when people running another distributions ask questions in a Mandriva-drake usenet group.
Commands given in a debian distro maynot work in Knoppix.
An example about what you read is like Mandrake is a spinoff of Redhat whos name was changed to Mandriva. Yes I have installed Redhat programs into Mandriva. No it did not work. They are named different because they are different.
Kinda like running your win 3.1 games on win98. :(
