[Novalug] Knoppix install??

 	I have a testbed machine (old P2 from 1998) that still 
runs, but is awful slow with FC6. (I have other uses for it, if I 
can speed it up, besides as a testbed; e.g., running whatever 
word processor my wife settles on for her next book, so that I 
can fiddle with it as occasions arise ...)

 	I've tried Puppy Linux, but can't seem to get it to 
configure as I want -- nor install. Damn Small Linux is over my 
head. Knoppix might serve, despite being (apparently) locked into 
KDE (which happens to grate on me) -- but there seems to be no 
way to install it.

 	Is this really so? You can't put Knoppix onto a hard 
drive even if you want to? Or am I missing something?

 	Or does anyone favor some other minimal OS?
