Why not create immediately a place where you can download your driverpackage you need ready to put on harddisk,floppy or usb-stick ?
Together with shortcut to the installscript for your Desktop ?
Now at this moment a lot of non-included hardware can easely be installed while running from the livecd. (some usb modems,acx-100 based wireless devices,dvd-decrypting package,firewire,hsp-56 pctel modem,... and many many more).
Many of these packages exsist already on the knoppix.net site ,but you have to search for them .
To the website admin of knoppix.net :Can you add such a page (or topic)to your site ? Where we can post our scripts,links and packages.
The French site of knoppix already did something similar ,so why not join forces with them ?
I've been thinking even further.
Why not put an icon in menu : 'install extra package' ?
On launch it will ask where to get it and you'll get a choice : floppy,usb-stick,2° cd player,harddisk. In all of them a certain directory must be present : for example 'extrapackage' ,in which the actual installscript will reside.
This make knoppix even more attractive I think , and it would enable klaus more easely to integrate pakages more easely.
