Designed using the Free Debian/GNU/Linux Operating System, "KNOPPIX is a bootable Live system on CD or DVD..." Burn the .iso image to CD or DVD, restart and it's ready to go as a Linux Rescue disk. At about 700 MB, a fast Broadband connection is recommended; Download the English Version via FTP or HTTP here:
The Wise Old Blogger was able to use DHCP with Knoppix 3.6 (Kernel 2.4 ), but the later versions stopped at the DHCP section of the boot-up process. Using the knoppix nodhcp command at the boot prompt allows the OS to load normally for further configuration of the Network; however, any effort to add, configure or 'bring up' the eth0 interface with Versions after 3.6 causes my computer to freeze which then requires a restart.
Built using the Debian OS, the Knoppix CD/DVD will easily run an Apache Server (from the CD) from a shell command prompt...
Start apache with the Apache Control command:
su for root permissions with no password required, then
apachectl start
