Yep, Knoppix is great as a demo, but pointless trying to install it to HD - 
it's more or less not upgradeable. The A/DeMuDi-1.1.1 live CD (based on 
Knoppix) is only intended as a demo and never intended to be installed, 
absolutely everyone who tried had nightmares. The proper 1.2.0 release, which 
is based on Debian Sarge installs easily.

I'll install A/DeMuDi on anything that stands still long enough and doesn't 
need proprietary drivers, gladly.
