Dist-upgrade is underway.
Because I am at my weekend house with a slow internet it will take around 13 hours to get 443MEG of files.
Will let you know how it goes.

And the light bulb turned on!
All of you helpful people kept telling me what to do to fix this and yet nothing "really" worked. I then decided to go back to square one and start from the most basic assumption - Is this Kanotix??
My assumption is YES. Why? Because when the kernel starts booting it shows the Kanotix line along with the penguiin. I assumed it was a Kanotix distro with a remote-exploit.org software package installed on it.
It actually appears to be a distribution in itself from Remote-exploit.org. The thing that made me originally think this was not the case was that their WWW site says their distro is built on Knoppix it didn't mention Kanotix...
So, I guess the question is Is Debian=Knoppix=Kanotix? Are the last two based on Debian? I guess so but would like to confirm.
Anyway, the answer is to probably see if an update is available from the www.remote-exploit.org site but I think I will just see what happens with the apt-get dist-upgrade that is underway. If I don't like the results I will just restore from backup and then upgrade from remote-exploit.org

Yes, Knoppix and Kanotix are Debian based. And Kanotix was originally just a modified Knoppix with better HW support and easier HD installation. Nowadays its a distribution on it's own, just with even better HW support  |

I am very impress with Kanotix.
I am thinking of just installing in on the NAST laptop I have and then just installing all the tools manually. It will be a LOT of work but....
Anyway, I will touch base with the forum tomorrow sometime and let you know how it when with the dist-upgrade.
Thanks all for your time, understanding and patiences for a Kanotix newbie...

| Kanotix was never a modified Knoppix. It was a rebuild with Knoppix tools added. |

Bug hunter is sooo old your dist-upgrade will fail miserably as more than one person said in this thread. Downloading kanotix from other sites is generally not the best idea, much safer to dl from here....

Well, the dist-upgrade cause it to remove X so I quit, restored from backup and am back to the original build of the software.
No harm done and a lot of lessons learned.
I will just download the update form Remote-exploit.org and keep trucking.
Thanks all.. |
