If you do, please tell us the details on getting this image; that is, how? By mail, by download, or what?
The Linux Magazine offer looks to me like just a pdf (text) relating to 7.7, no mention of the iso image.
I hope you can clear this up for us.
Thanks.
The DVD Knoppix 7.7.0 comes with the printed copy of Linux Pro Magazine April 2016,
I got mine within 2 days after purchasing the printed copy #185 April 2016 edition. They have an office in the United States of America, I think it's in Kansas USA. Very fast delivery. The DVD will be attached to the magazine's printed pages. $12.99 US Dollars.
If you want the Knoppix 7.7 DVD, order the PRINTED copy because the DIGITAL copy does NOT provide the Knoppix 7.7 OS, only the PRINTED copy does! I Google searched for Linux Magazine April 2016 and finally navigated to the ordering page. I had to do some searching after I got on the Linux Magazine page but you will find it in there.

Likely new features of next Knoppix 7.7.X
...assuming 7.7.1 Linux Presentation Day Edition is a beta version:
Firefox 49
LibreOffice 5.2.2.2
Linux 4.7.9-64 SMP kernel
Broadcom wl Version '271 64-bit wifi driver
'Dirty COW' bug fix
Cannot install kernel modules in Knoppix 7.7.1
Hi!
I was not able to install VirtualBox 5.1.6 guest additions because there is a misconfiguration in the kernel header files. "make oldconfig && make prepare" did not help.
The only solution seems to be the recompilation of the whole kernel with the old configuration file.
If anyone knows a faster solution I would be glad to hear of it.
Knoppix 7.7.0 beats Knoppix 7.7.1--Get the Linux Magazine Edition #185 with the 7.7.0
I've used 7.7.0 with zero problems and it works GREAT! Got it about 4 months ago with the magazine (printed edition) and it's worth every dollar you pay, 12 or 13 United States Dollars. I live in USA and delivery took only two days. Highly recommend 7.7.0.

Before anyone starts jumping up and down demanding the public edition should be available for download it is as well to remember that past experience is that the .1 public edition does not usually appear till later, (maybe as late as September). The benefit of the wait is you get some bugs fixed. Klaus Knopper releases when he is ready.
This year's CeBIT release is somewhat larger than usual, stretching to TWO extra KNOPPIX files. This is because it includes several CAD programs. These do NOT appear on public releases of Knoppix.
