If you all are going to install a working Distro on newbies computers you
need to take it a step further. You need to write down what you do to get
their computer going. I mean the first working Linux I had operating on my
box was Mandrake put onto it by a kind user. Well I formated my HD accidently
and had to reinstall it myself but it was not working (modem problems). To
make matters worse I could not find the kind user to tell me how he got it
working. Now I have debian (installed through knoppix) and I figured out what
to do to get the modem going but there are some icons on the desktop that
will not work! (these are the 'CD-ROM' and 'Floppy disk' icons)
So, as you can see (I hope), we need to give people some persoalized
documentation. I mean we handed out knoppix CDs but that was all. When I
first got my knoppix CD I had not a clue what to do with it.
