It is a great diagnostic tool, because it works such a high percent of the time to prove something difficult to prove otherwise, which is whether particular hardware works or not, and without "installing" anything whatsoever, or requiring futzing with hardware/BIOS settings.
That still only makes it a good diagnostic tool, Felix. It might be great to someone wanting to install Debian or a form of Debian. What have you proved, if you still can't install or run the distro you want on the machine?
It proves the distro he's trying to install is a problem (broken as installed) on his hardware but not a problem for his hardware with some other distro. That's half the battle to someone who otherwise couldn't tell where to begin looking for a solution. --
Felix, Please pay attention! I receive list mail, why do you continue to send out two copies of everything? He already knew it was or something was broken, didn't he? He didn't need Knoppix to tell him that. If it's not working, it's pretty evident it's broken somewhere. What he needs now is where and only working thru SuSE can he figure that out. Lee
