KNOPPIX_V3.4-2004-05-04-EN.iso

Boot up with Knopppix 3.4:
Linux 2.4 - no problem (just hit the return key)
Linux 2.6 - requires "linux26 noscsi"

With both Linux 2.4 & 2.6, the Hotkey "Fn" function is not working. One result is that on bootup, the display brightness is set at minimum and it cannot be adjusted any brighter. So the 15" UXGA display is quite dim.

The default display resolution on bootup is 1,600x1,200 (it's native resolution, I believe). However, it can be changed to 800x600 at the bootup command line with
screen=800x600
