Story: Knoppix slims down Linux Live CD

Great idea! A relatively simple CD, and a massive DVD, instead of trying to pack "everything" into a CD and having to make hard choices.

It will make derivative works, like MEPIS, easier too. More empty space on the CD to fit things like encrypted home directories on thumb drives.

I admire Knopper and his hard work. I've tried to keep a BitTorrent session for Knoppix up all the time, as my small way to help out.
