KNOPPIX [LWN.net]

KNOPPIX has released v3.2-2003-04-09 with minor bugfixes. "Changes: mousedev is now used for all USB mice in an attempt to fix some reported problems. Most of the GNOME 1 stuff was deleted because of space limits. The following packages will be omitted until a GNOME2 version exists and fits: evolution, libguppi16, gcdmaster, gnome-games, and kino. Flash-Installer was added. Support for ALSA drivers was added, but it is untested. This feature can be used by adding the "alsa" option to the boot command. An argument can be passed to the "alsa" option to specify a particular sound card driver."
