He said KnoppMyth, not Knoppix. I would also recommend KnoppMyth for  
a beginner and experienced users who are tired of fiddling with this  
and that until it works exactly as you want it to. :) It walks you  
through the whole setup relatively effortlessly. Just remember to set  
up your Zap2It account (assuming you're in the U.S.) before starting.  
It'll save you some time and possibly some frustration.
