    Yes, you are correct. Knoppix is a open source project. The link you posted is the archive of Knoppix specific or Knoppix modified packages. In adherence with the GPL, the Knoppix developers gave everyone access to the changes they made. You should be able to browse a local Debian mirror to view the binaries & code of all of the other packages such as KDE, ethereal, or the linux kernel.
    I hope this helps.

    No, is incorrect.

    Knoppix distrib is a open source code project!
    Knoppix LIVE CD is a CLOSE code project?

    Example, I want change Knoppix distrib and then compile to CD LIVE.

    How I may compile from Knoppix distrib (based Debian distrib) TO LIVE CD????? What?

    Instructions are provided in the Docs on how to remaster the cd.
