I agree,  i used kanotix for a while and its excellent, i think this was
forked in to sidux,  its also a good idea to have these anyway,  trying
to install Windows Xp, is great until it won't tell you what hardware
you have,  where as booting a live cd,  does, it then demonstrates how
Linux is better with hardware,
