This in an answer I owe you for some time. I am able to give a meaningful one only now. 1-On thursday I tried to install debian on a partition on my wife's computer, using the disk received from Lior. Nada! Not only the computer did not boot from it, after preparing floppies and starting installation, the system complained of errors and the process stopped. I started slackware and tried to copy the CD to the it but it did not work either. I SLOWED DOWN THE CDROM DRIVE DRASTICALLY WITH HDPARM -DID NOT HELP. In the end I mounted the cd on my computer (there it works allright) and installed using the ethernet to ethernet connection between the two. I had no such problem when installing Slackware using a CDROM bought 6-12 months earlier. My guess is that the performance of Lior's burner deteriorates gradually with time and unless your own drive is in top condition, you are in trouble (just for the record, my wife's computer is some three months old, while the CDROM drive on mine is much older. 2-Dirk Ettenbuettel has announced on the octave mailing list (maybe on the Debian list as well) a new version of knoppix (called quantium or something like that) geared to technical-scientific work (he mainly replaced the open office with statistical and mathematical packages and with tex, latex & texmacs). That arouse my curiosity: I downloaded the iso image and burned it. I don't think I am going to use it. It's impressive but compared to the real thing... . The point is that the disk I burned, works allright with both our computers. So, if you are still interested in Knoppix, I can download it, burn it and send it to you... I don't know, though, wherefrom to download the localized (hebrew) version. Cheers, Avraham
