Well, I did try the x86 version of Knoppix (4.0.2) and X did work from a |
| 21 |
cold boot. |

I did try to find the amd64 version, but had little luck. It looks like |
| 24 |
the amd64 version is based on 2.4 kernel, and none of the bit torrents |
| 25 |
or mirrors I found seemed active any more. I will continue to try and |
| 26 |
find a current version of the amd64 Knoppix :-). |
