has any one installed phlak to their hard drive? is it a good distro?
You sound like me when I first tried linux. Burning every distro in sight, yet none of the burns ever worked. Trust me on this, go to www.linuxcd.org and buy whatever distro you want. It will only be about 8 bucks, and boy is that the best 8 bucks I ever spent. I love my redhat 9 from linuxcd.org.
hm. Or go to www.linuxiso.org every distro i downloaded worked: I downloaded Mandrake 8.1, Gentoo, FreeBSD, Suse and RedHat. As for P.H.L.A.K you don't have to install it you can boot off of the CD into it. I recommend that you try it out because you don't have to install it.
From what Diemos says on IRC constantly, for a very early (0.01 or 0.1 or something) release, it is a very good distro, with lots of great tools, and not that large either, worth checking out.
The first time I downloaded phlak the ISO was screwed up, so make sure to check out the MD5 sums first unless you want a coaster, though hopefully by now the mirror with the bad ISO is fixed.
Wait on Phlak for the time being...
- The GUI/WM sucks (where's the flux at?)
- Doesn't work when trying to access Window's partions
- Overall just a really immature distro (version 0.1 anyone?)
- Why run Phlak when you could run Knoppix-STD?
- Why install Phlak on your harddrive when you could install Slackware? :-P
All in all, wait for Phlak to grow up a bit, I think its got some good potential.
thank guys. the thing is i got phlack but i cant connect to the internet. i also burt redhat 9 but it gives me errors.... i think ill try to buy slackware or something
Why buy it when you can download it? ;-) Unless it's SuSE, which is a freaking pay distro. Alteast it doesn't cost much, and is worth the money.
I have never tried Knoppix-STD, but I like PHLAK. It is not perfect at this stage, but still fun to play around with.

I downloaded PHLAK and burnt the image file few days back, and the cd is working ok.
I have also downloaded Knopix, college linux and in process of downloading Mandrake 9.2 (the first cd ready and works fine). all the above working fine, so dont see any problem with downloading the ISO images (am working in an ISP and have high speed connection).
