What if I burned the CD ISO of Knoppix on a DVD instead of a CD? I mean if the boot loader would be on the first part of the DVD, then a bunch of empty data on the DVD (80% maybe, between the boot loader and the real data) and the rest of the real Knoppix data on the end of the DVD disc (which is were the DVD is accessed the fastest). Then I load it on a regular 16x DVD drive (not a DVD+-r/rw). Would that make it faster? Because I hear that a 16x DVD drive can read at 22 mb/s while a 52x CD read is at 7.8 mb/s.
