You can change that at the
boot prompt to use one of several window managers instead, or get a Gnoppix disk instead to use
the GNOME environments.
The KNOPPIX version of KDE matches pretty closely the descriptions in Chapter 3, although a few
items related to the KNOPPIX KDE desktop are worth noting:
Desktop icons??”To get information about KNOPPIX, click the KNOPPIX icon (choose a
language, and then find links to FAQs, Knopper.Net, and general KNOPPIX information)
or the LinuxTag icon (to read the licenses). There is also the requisite Trash icon.
Disk icons??”Any CD, DVD, floppy, or other removable medium drive is displayed as an
icon on the desktop. Of course, this includes the drive holding the KNOPPIX disk, which
you can get to directly to do such things as find boot images or KNOPPIX documentation.
Hard disk partitions are also represented by icons on your KNOPPIX desktop. Click one
of those icons and you can access (read-only) the files on that hard disk partition. This is
a great feature for getting the information you need without, by default, enabling you to
change or otherwise damage the data on the computer. To make a disk writable, right-click
on the disk icon and select Actions???Change read/write mode. If you are not able to write
to the disk, refer to the section on making disks writable later in this chapter.
