Q: Are there any special components/patches in the kernel used on KNOPPIX?
A: No. KNOPPIX uses the current most STABLE vanilla Linux kernel from
www.kernel.org, with 2 exceptions:
- Until the XFS filesystem is officially accepted in the stable kernel
releases, the xfs patch from www.xfs.org is added
- The boot commandline is extended to support 512 chars, the patch for
this can be found in /usr/src/knoppix-kernel.patch
This is what i read from my knoppix 3.8.2 in :/usr/src/knoppix-kernel.README.
