I tried HTTP-FUSE KNOPPIX and found that the delay is high. Netselect shows the delay ranging from as low as 390 to as high as 1081. I was not able to get HTTP-FUSE KNOPPIX to fully load. It stopped after "setting paths" and I waited 5 minutes and it did not progress. I though it might have lost the connection. I used a separate PC with Knoppix and ethereal to inspect the packets and found that HTTP-FUSE KNOPPIX was still downloading the compressed blocks. I decided to shut the PC off since I no longer wanted to wait.

I will try again tonight and will wait the full amount of time for the system to boot.

I would like to setup a local http mirror of the HTTP-FUSE KNOPPIX compressed blocks. Is there a HOWTO or a guide to do so? Can I rsync from a HTTP-FUSE KNOPPIX mirror to my local network?

Thanks for your time,
James
