A couple of quick notes:

Poplog .deb package works flawlessly with Knoppix 3.6 (I think that's the most 
recent version of Knoppix). I've read somewhere (probably in the archives of 
this group) that Poplog works much better with Open Motif than with Lesstif, 
so I installed libmotif package.

It's very easy to install Knoppix to hard disk, provided there's a free 
partition. The script "knx2hd" executed as root only needs a few user 
supplied parameters. Most of the hardware is autoconfigured.
