"KNOPPIX is a bootable CD with a collection of
GNU/Linux software, automatic hardware detection, and
support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI
and USB devices and other peripherals. KNOPPIX can be
used as a Linux demo, educational CD, rescue system,
or adapted and used as a platform for commercial
software product demos. It is not necessary to
install anything on a hard disk. Due to on-the-fly
decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of
executable software installed on it."
