Hi,
Thanks to a good tip from enainder and others, i order Knoppix in a CD (U$1.50) and now im writing this from lynux without ny installation, just starting my PC from a CD.
Its very nice!
Have a lot of applications, its fast and friendly
Maybe its a good idea to install lynux... but im an absolute newbie.
Could i install PB Lynux in my PC and try to compile something running lynux from a CD?
Thanks

Knoppix' s livecd based on debian (i remmember have a command for install it on harddisk from livecd and you will have a debian system)
Could i install PB Lynux in my PC and try to compile something running lynux from a CD?
why don't
but it will lost all data unless you save them into other (not RAM).

ok, open console (press Ctrl+Alt+F1 or F7 after you bootup)
list partition that you have: "fdisk -l" (take one as /dev/hda1 ...)
and use "mount" command (same as "#mount /dev/hda1 /hda1" )
save something into /hda1
don't know have: how many commands in linux

Is it something to create PB apps for linux under this ?

@Edwin
I think for PB you have to install Linux to HDD, because you need some Xtra-packages to install to get it run.
@ricardo
Perhaps you speak german ? If so - there were 3 articles in the last 2 editions of the C't referred to Knoppix including Knoppix 3.4 on CD. You can have a look at these articles here:

Nop, i speak spanish, don't understand german.
Thanks anyway... im thinking on kill my XP and make a test with linux/wine.
I will try to run win32 apps (including PB) but don't deal with windows itself, i am mad because its giving troubles again to me.
Best Regards

I have knoppix, too. And the Manual for it. If the sound doesn't work write in the input line before booting: "boot knoppix alsa" then it will work
