   The more recent the distro the greater the chance that it will recognise
your hardware and know the work-arounds to suit. Knoppix is based on the
unstable and testing distributions from Debian, but unless it is a very
recent Knoppix that means what is now the current stable distribution,
codenamed "sarge". There is a new installer with sarge, with documentation
on the website including errata for difficult hardware.
