Summary

Knoppix Hacks shows system administers and power users how to use the enormous amount of software on this LiveCD to troubleshoot, repair, upgrade, disinfect, and generally get the most out of a computer-without the difficulty of installing Linux itself. They'll learn how to use the LiveCD as a portable Linux desktop, and how to customize Knoppix to suit their needs. The book also introduces other LiveCDs based on Knoppix that are targeted for specific needs, such as multimedia or security. This is the only Knoppix book on the market.
