I'm going to try something more "mainstream", I'm not sure if this is
due to there simply not being enough copies, or a port problem, or
something else.  I've given it about an hour.  (I started a regular
download the other day, which is where that 1% comes from). 
Ironically, the immediate need for g/knoppix came and went, but it's
always useful to have copy around :)

A knoppix cd I burned a while ago has died, so I'll spend the 99
cents, or whatever, for a new one, which I'll keep on CDRW maybe :)
