Hi David,
I did try this but it I could not get it to actuall install. At this 
point a quick search found that other people who had managed it found 
that using the apt command of any sort 'broke' the installation. The 
suggestion was to use Mepis instead as some people on this list have 
managed. I would do this but Mepis will not boot for me on Three 
different machines.
Did you have any luck with a hard disk install of knoppix? - If that is 
what you tried out.

Tom
