[Wolves] A2RT Networked Computers

[Robert Smith]

Hi

Ahh what have I got mysef in for??

As regards booting i can burn isos onto cdrw and boot off them!!

What i will do is try and build a bare system with say sawfish and moz with
kmail for now and see how i get on, no point building a killer distro and
then run into problems!!

As knoppix is debian based, if anybody has apt srcs of more update versions
of mozzila etc it would help but may just build them from scratch or use a
binary installer!

Rob
