I've just installed MEPIS (another deban based bootable CD so it may well give 
you the same trouble as Knoppix) on my wife's centrino laptop, it did a 
better job of hardware detection that all the other distros I tried. It's 
also got a rather nice feature of allowing an easy install onto the hard disk 
after trying it out from the CD. Happy to burn another CD an pop it in post, 
however it strikes me that a 95 box may well not have the 128megs of RAM that 
this wants as a minimum.

Probably not much help :(
