You have no worries about re-distribution Knoppix is GPL software however I get a bad data from tracker error and the file size is 685.9 mb which seems a little low since Klaus usually takes it up to almost the limit on the disk.

Not working here either:

I'm able to use it using Shad0w's bittorrent client, but not with the official client. (I don't understand how a torrent can be made that doesn't work with the official client, but there it is.) Unfortunately, there are very few participants in this torrent.

Anyway, download Shad0w's bittorrent client and try again.

Knoppix 3.4 seems to run great. I hevan't tested it so much yet I just tried to install it on HD but that doesn't seem to work for me. It doesn't work for some guys on heise.de/ct, too so I think that I will have to wait until the final 3.4 comes out.
I'm not sure how to publish the knoppix cd bittorrent wouldnÄt work because of the NAT I think.
If any body has an ftp available I would upload it. It seems to be available in edonkey/emule, too but only 2 people or so have it.

If anyone already has 3.4 running, I would be very interested whether it works with klik - let's say for the RealPlayer package.

If you want to try out knoppix 3.4 I would suggest to join #knoppix on irc.freenode.net there is a bittorrent (that works with the normal client) with 4 seeds and no downloaders.

Just burned the iso. uname -a returned
Linux Knoppix 2.4.23-xfs #1 SMP Mi Dez 10 22:25:03 CET 2003 i686 GNU/Linux

I thought it had 2.6? Is there an option that has to be passed on boot to use it instead of the 2.4 kernel?

knoppix26 at the boot: prompt and if you need English then you may want to add lang=us you get the = by using SHIFT and 0 (zero) at the same time the keyboard layout is German as well and I needed to use the wheelmouse cheat code to get the scrollwheel working with the 2.6 kernel.

knoppix26 didn't boot on my system. Looks like a problem finding the CDROM off of the Adaptec SCSI card. Last error was saying that it was looking at /dev/hde for the CDROM when infact, /dev/hde is an IDE HD( have 2 IDE HD's with one being an HPT366 ).

knoppix24( the 2.4.x kernel ) booted fine. As mentioned in the other thread, KDE seemed a bit more responsive but that's all I really noticed with very littel other testing.
