I neither have nor want a DVD player nor burner. The technology is still immature and standards are still changing.

--AFA the burner goes, yes I agree with you. But AFA DVD *drives* go, there's really no reason to have a basic CDROM drive anymore. DVD is effectively standardized for read-only applications. (You don't have to watch movies on them, SuSE 7.3 came on DVD.)

I'd be happy to pay $10 for a Knoppix dvd.

I am also waiting for dvd to become more mature before buying one.

I'll buy it if I can buy if from a local re-seller.
If I'd buy this as a private person I wouldn't mind too much getting it from an abroad, but I'm playing around with this at work, for work related issues so work pays for it. We must billed in local currency.

I would also love the opportunity to beta test the DVD version of Knoppix. I have a DVD burner myself, so it won't be a problem. If anybody could give me a link to the ISO, that would be great. I'm also willing to offer DVD burning services to anybody who wants a copy of Knoppix DVD. I will just need a small fee to cover the dvd disc and the shipping cost.

The beta test is over, and the DVD .iso's have been removed from the mirror

I didn't get a chance to test beta 2 or 3, but I hd-installed beta 1 and it's great. I had to apt-get remove crack-attack to get any work done ( very addictive game! )

As soon as anyone either knows how to buy the DVD from a distributor, or has the final DVD please post back with a report / review.

I investigated trying to get a deal making the DVDs, on demand, but there was a problem : http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=15898

I think this project deserves support but I'd like a downloadable DVD to be available because it changes quite often. Maybe a members only download is an idea, with people paying a subscription for access to the download area? A bit like Mandrake Club?

Ten bucks for a new DVD release of Knoppix every 3 months sounds great.
I got Mandrake 9.1 on DVD and really like not having to swap cd's. Call me lazy ('

DVD burners are in the $150 ballpark these days.

And, with tools like loopback devices and DaemonTolls (Windows), you do not have to burn the ISO ir order to boot it!
