Darn nice work!
I just had to try it out... so I installed Kanotix into VirtualBox. My virtual OS #20, but who's counting?   The first thing I installed was Synaptic Package Manager. KPackage is too... something. But, yeah, Kanotix is a good distro. My virtual OS #19 is another Knoppix derivative, by the way... Sidux. There go the updates... with Synaptic, of course:  KDE is nice, but there is a limit to how much a gnomie can take... so I installed GNOME... ahhh! Much better  : I love Linux!

Ta its nice to be appreciated .
Why don't you do a idiots walkthrough on how to install Synaptic in Kanotix ??  That Sidux background looks neat .

Just two small points about your walkthrough . No title and no pictures . Without pictures you'll loose over 99% of your audience after the first full stop .

"The sound works just fine though maybe a little gravelly . Could just be Tom Waits though ."
If it ain't... open terminal, and type "kmix":  See the loudspeaker icon next to clock? Double click on that... experiment with "Master" and "PCM" levels. Oh, and... the loudspeaker icon is bound to be there even after reboot. |

 THE best concert I've ever been at was his "Big Time" gig in Stockholm... sheesh... twenty years ago. Time sure flies. |
