[Gloucs] Linux demo CD

[Mark Trotman]

Hi folks,

I'm looking for help with regard to Linux demo's. I have spent the last 
two days downloading and burning ISO's but have been unable to get 
either Gnoppix or Knoppix to run correctly and I am now awash with 
coasters!

Does anyone have a working CD that I can borrow so that I can demo Linux 
to my father? He doesn't want to install anything yet, so it has to be 
something I can just drop into his CD and run. I really don't mind which 
  distro it is at this point in time.

As background, he wanted to replace his HP660 printer with something 
more modern after it broke just before the Xmas period. I found an 
HP3320 and bought it for him as a pressie. After trying to install it on 
his Win95 box, we found there were no drivers available on the install 
CD or on the HP website (they have obviously dropped support for '95). I 
hear that M$ are dropping support for '98 soon so I feel it isn't worth 
his while upgrading to that. If we look at XP, it's going to cost him an 
arm and a leg to upgrade his PC so Linux is the answer (wasn't it always?)

Any help would be much appreciated.

TIA
