I don't know, I'm downloading Knoppix as we speak. I saw it=20

demoed at a Linux user group meeting. The person demoing handed=20

me the cd, I put it in my computer and booted. Within a couple=20

minutes I had a full Linux desktop booted completely off the=20

CD. The only snag was it didn't detect my wireless=20

keyboard/mouse so the desktop wasn't usable.

There are "command line switches" you can pass to Knoppix at=20

boot. If you just press Enter or wait a specified number of=20

seconds, you get default boot options. I'm sure there was an=20

option to make my wireless stuff work.
