answer #1

Is there a reason why you would want to download an old version, one with known problems with the unionfs?

Download these:
http://debian.ams.sunysb.edu/knoppix...5-09-23-EN.iso 700MB
http://debian.ams.sunysb.edu/knoppix...-23-EN.iso.md5 1KB
If those links do not work, then get the files from the mirror list page http://knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html

Once the files are downloaded, Then follow What are these strange MD5 files that accompany the ISO CD images? and the rest of the Downloading FAQs to get it properly burned.

No, I can't, or more to the point, I will not. I intentionally told people in this link how to find the wiki and which FAQ to read rather than give a link right to it because I want people to know how to find the wiki without asking for a link to the information every time they have a question. You say that you read the FAQ. You did't say downoading FAQ and I really wonder if you read it at all, since it covers exactly what you asked, as well as giving answers to the next five questions that you are about to ask. All of the downloading faq is important and worth reading, just giving you a link to the file to download would only be setting the stage for all of the common errors that new users make after they obtain the correct file.

3.8 has known bugs. 4.0.2 does also, but most people consider the 3.8 bugs more serious. If you don't care then I certainly don't.
