[wplug] Knoppix Live CD on MacBook Pro

[Greg Simkins]

Thanks Todd for your suggestion at the Installfest this past Saturday.  

I brought my MacBook Pro to fool around with.  I had already installed BootCamp and XP Pro.  Todd suggested that I try a live CD.  Beth Lynn handed us a copy of Knoppix.  The Bootcamp bootloader provided a selection menu so I could choose the Knoppix CD.  Knoppix loaded fine, but the Knoppix version that BethLynn provided didn't have a driver for the NIC so we couldn't access the Internet.  Todd suggested downloading the latest Knoppix - perhaps it would have the proper NIC driver.  

I ran out of time on Saturday, but today I finally downloaded Knoppix 5.0.1, burned a boot disk in OS X and it worked fine.  I was able to load Knoppix 5.0 and access the Internet. 

Greg
