I ran Knoppix 5.1 on a PC using tightvnc viewer to install the OS, Ubuntu6.06 as guest. It is working now. I also ran update and upgrade afterwards. However I haven't figured out how to start it on next boot. Do I need putting the installer on CDRom? On next boot what command shall I run to start KVM. What command shall I run to start the guest. How to resize the vncviewer window?
