I am trying to obtain a (more recent) version of Knoppix that supports
booting from floppy. I volunteer most Wednesdays at
http://otap.org and use
the Knoppix live-CD to discover hardware in the workstations we
refurbish. Occasionally we find a workstation whose BIOS does not
support 'boot from CD-ROM'. I have version 3.1-08-11-2002
(which does support creating a 'boot from floppy' option).
I would like to obtain v3.3-2004-02-16-en.iso
(which may be the last version that supports floppy booting).
I would even gladly accept a BitTorrent link.

Google/linux searches only find locations of ISOs of versions
3.6 & 3.7.

Regards, Chuck

Don't fool with Linux boot floppies. Make a Smart BNoot Manager floppy, it will let you boot any version of Knoppix on almiost any computer.
