Knoppix 9 Update

I believe Knoppix is the only Linux Distribution with enormous number of applications that can be booted from a USB and does not fear or care whether Microsoft Windows exists at boot time.

Of course it can be installed on a hard drive but with a persistent volume in a 64 GB USB that need does not arise.

It is a fully fledged mobile OS.

I can do all my jobs with only one USB stick but I have all the volumes from version 7.

Being a Linux guy I keep Debian in my PC but it needs a windows partition to boot.

It won't boot from a Ext-4 partition.
This subservience to Windows is an unwelcome ploy.

Since Linux can stand on its own in the cloud, why one needs a windows boot partition?

This is true also, if one boots from a SATA disk with SSD.

I do not like carrying a Laptop on travel.

It is a big hassle on the plane.

If I cannot take my Operating System in a external disk and boot it at the airport, all the achievements of Linux is lost due to Microsoft's UEFI hegemony.

I still use legacy BIOS and usually carry a USB stick prepared from Multisystem USB on travel.

Problem with Multisystem USB stick is one cannot save data.

I hope Endless OS look into this problem in future.

The latest Endless OS DVD won't let me create a USB stick and also won't install on my laptop with a small SATA disk.

I used the old version of Endless OS to Install a new copy.
It is running smoothly and I believe it does not need updating but I would only update the applications.
