I know your topic says "install" , but if all you really want to do is play around with it some, the easiest way is with a live CD.

Google for Puppy Linux and also Slax.

You can download an iso file, and burn it to CD. Boot with that CD and off you go ... :) ... no install necessary.

I've only mentioned two.
There are lots of them out there.

Now to figure out which version to try...

Like Jacco said, some versions allow you to store config options, etc., in a big file. Next time you boot, it auto-magically finds that file and picks up where you left off.

Puppy linux can do this. Your option. I did it for some things. I can't remember if it would remember bookmarks for the web browser or not. It worked fine for what I wanted though.

Btw, I get the feeling that Knoppix is the King Kong of live CDs. :) It is used by many, and has a lot included. The download is huge though.

Puppy is a much smaller version, and thus has less. It does include a nice web browser though. I've used it. Works fine.

You, or anyones, best bet - if you have a broadband connection and a CD burner, is to download a few different versions. Hey - - it's free! Burn the iso to CD, and boot it. Try several.

Even if you don't like them, keep the CDs. Someday you'll need one. Someday your computer won't boot, and you can use one of these to poke around and maybe figure out the problem.... or to get on the internet and look for help.

I can't think of a way to have it automatically removed, as that would defeat the purpose of it.

It is not hidden or buried somewhere. Easy to find.

As a matter of fact, I forgot it for quite a while. Then I came across it one day. It was like - ' Oh yeah, I remember that '.
Delete.
