Downloading Knoppix 3.3, or the best route toward 2.4 kernel
Hi! I'm new to Knoppix but not new to Linux in general, although my
sysadmin experience is medium-light (installing and running my own
RH and SuSE servers, not recompiling the kernel or building my own
distributions).
I'm trying to put together a Linux for my company's telephony-oriented box
(an embedded PC). We have been deploying on NT4 up until now.
We would like to deploy the OS on a read-only partition, so the
the thought is to begin with a running Knoppix install, remaster to
remove all the stuff we don't need and to add the specialized drivers,
and then copy from the cd ISO image to a hard disk partition, leaving
in place all the ramdisk symlinks and such that allows Knoppix to
run from the CD-ROM. It might also make sense to uncompress
some or all of the distribution, since we may be able to fit everything
we need in 700M uncompressed. . . This part entails a lot of questions
for another area of this forum; I'm just giving it as background info
to explain what I'm trying to accomplish. . .
We use some specialized telephony PCI cards that don't have kernel
2.6 support yet so I either need Knoppix 3.3, or retrofit a 2.4 kernel
into 3.8.1, which doesn't sound appealing to me (read: too hard and
not worth the effort).
I can't find 3.3 on any of the mirrors 'cause it's so old. . .
What I'm looking for is:
1. A download site for 3.3, or
2. Some good reasons why I should instead retrofit the 2.4 kernel into
3.8.1, and some clue about what that entails.
THANKS!

3.6 IIRC gives you both kernels -- yes, a choice! You can get it here . But hurry, hurry, sooner or later they'll update the site!
You may eventually want to update the kernel (while staying in 2.4) to catch up with some of the backported security fixes, but this will be easier from 2.4 than 2.6, I think.

Thanks, I'll give that a whirl!

"3.6 IIRC gives you both kernels -- yes, a choice!" on your link there is 3.7. Any way, put KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-19-EN/ in Google and you will find somethin usable.
