Linux minimal install - Knoppix 6.2

After just 2 days, I had to dump the Ubuntu 9.10 minimal and go back to Knoppix because the computer kept freezing. Here are my notes for this 3rd re-install of Knoppix.

Here are the magic numbers for this install:
Memory on idle mode:
Used: 55mb, Free: 184mb
on swap space -
Used: 0mb, 1027mb

Kernel: 2.6.31.6 - based on the Knoppix live CD
---
enabling flash:

sudo su
apt-get update
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

reboot

in iceweasel, make sure to allow youtube full access - if you have noScript add-on

setting correct time:
source: Knoppix forum thread

get your time server nearest your location: Clock servers (www.pool.ntp.org)

sudo su
-- get your timezone

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

-- edit the autoconfig file and put in your timezone
line 357 from to or whatever location

leafpad /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig

-- install ntpdate

apt-get install ntpdate
leafpad /etc/default/ntpdate

changes:
NTPDATE_USE_NTP_CONF=no
NTPSERVERS="0.asia.pool.ntp.org 1.asia.pool.ntp.org 2.asia.pool.ntp.org 3.asia.pool.ntp.org"
