I just tried using Knoppix 3.3 that came with the May issue of LinuxForYou. Looks like good free software!
Indeed Knoppix shows the power of cramfs and tmpfs.The first time I got Knoppix CD (again from the first issue of LFY) was surprised to see how much s/w a single CD of software was able to hold.
Apart from the what knoppix usually offers,there are other benefits,I'd like to mention them here.
I __really___ needed to use Debian testing or Unstable, it was not in my reach to install woody and get packages off my dail-up connection.
All I had to do was to do hdd-install and start customizing.
There were two problems I faced.
1) The hdd-install needed >2GB to install. Do a very tight install and get rid of KDEx to make space to work.
2) The hdd-install interface was in dutch,later I had change locale settings, and remove all I18n packages.
