Ah! Such a friend would be a friend indeed. The world would be so much brighter and sweeter.
Sadly there are no such friends in this old mans world.

A 'branded knoppix CD'? Well I do remember that the Cd was a proper CD with the Logo "KNOPPIX" whatever version it might have been. Not scrawled on with a marker pen by one of the high speed downloaders you speak of. Surely, such a highly spoken of Distro should be respected and put out in a decent manner, but there you are, old men should not try remembering the days when things were done right. I need Knoppix because I am sick of Win XP. Thanks for you lovely reply. Regards Walt.
