I don't know about it having KTouch but DamnSmallLinux might work well for you.

Only one problem -- they ~ aren't turned on when the kids are using them. Obviously this is a pathetic ~ arrangement only slightly better than the kids using paper keyboards... ~ ~ Anyway, they gave me one to check and see if there would be any possibility of ~ getting them working. Happily I have a compatible power supply -- the school ~ doesn't have any, but that's a different issue. When I plugged it in the ~ machine booted up to Win98 and explorer promptly crashed. Well that just gave ~ me an excuse to run Linux, which is what I was thinking anyway :-) ~ ~ So I put in my Knoppix 3.2 disk and she booted right up -- after 10 minutes ~ :-( And unfortunately, it doesn't include KTouch which is the main program ~ I'd like to show them. So... ~ ~ I'm looking for advice on a small, bootable distribution that might include ~ KTouch. A second option would be for me to get permission to wipe the drive ~ and install Linux, but I'm guessing I still might need something stripped down ~ to work well on this machine -- so any suggestions on this would be ~ appreciated as well. DamnSmallLinux (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/) looks ~ like it might be a good place to start, but I was hoping not to tinker too much... ~ ~ Thx, ~ ~ Jeff ~ --------------------------------------------------- ~ PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us ~ To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: ~ http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss ~ -- <:-)~MIKE~(-:> This message has been scanned for viruses by the VEI Internet Automatic Email Spam and Virus Scanner, and is believed to be free of spam or viruses.
