Sure there are other emergency rescue disks out there, but none of them are as complete as knoppix.

Space would be at a premium I imagine but if you deleted some of the apps you dont use.... Now THAT would be pretty amazing.

1-The impressive automatic configuration
2-The quantity and quality of software included
3-The capability to read Linux and MS filesystems, including ext3 and reiserfs
In my home machine I just insert the CD and in a few minutes I have a Debian system running. It configures correctly all the hardware, the network card, Internet access, CD writer, sound card, VIDEO card, etc.
Last month I bought a new video card. I just let Knoppix generate the Xfree configuration files for it, rebooted Debian Woody and it is working fine. It is also an excellent tool to test new or second hand machines before buying.
However, to be honest, I have to say that Knoppix hangs my new Toshiba 1900-303 laptop. This seems to be strage but it may happen.
