Heh heh! it did occur to me .... maybe just to leave knoppix liveCDs in
their disc trays.


Tried Gnome? This seems to be a bit lighter weight.

Yes and chucked it out. If I wanted lighter weight at all costs I'd learn
to use xfce or suchlike. I wanted usability: I've spent too long learning
the Windoze[1] way of doing things to want to learn a different one[2] and
kde wasn't so heavyweight that it was a showstopper.

[1] windoze classic: when I was thrown into a pit of XP machines the first
thing I did was customise them to the classic 9X/NT/XP look'n'feel. Never
did like teletubbies :-)

[2] unless I can see that it's really worth the effort.
