Did it set up swap space?  With sufficient swap space, you can run just
about any programs you choose, just so damn slow without sufficient amount
of physical RAM.

Knoppix was pretty cool that I could try out how linux/KDE would run on my
main PC.  (Which it worked pretty good, especially considering all apps
running off of CD)  One thing I didn't like is the inability to try out
software that is not loaded by default.  I wanted to try Japanese input
system and binary news reader, since those are 2 key factors for me to ditch
Win2k completely and convert to Linux full time at home.  Oh well.
