fenrir-screenreader is also available. https://nashcentral.duckdns.org/projects/Jenux uses fenrir by default. Klaus Knopper's public key I haven't been able to find and none of his email addresses seem to be working any longer either for the ones I found. You have a chance of getting a good version of knoppix if you download with a good bittorrent client and make sure your encryption required is turned on and make sure of integrity checks.
