I found a knoppix 4.0 iso on my work machine.  It is being copied to my
web server at home as we speak.  Looks like the time remaining is all
over the place, ranging from 1:00 to 5:00 left, depending on the speed
at the moment.  When it is done, you are welcome to download it from
http://mirror.wrlug.org/knoppix/ .  I'm no datacenter, so don't expect a
zippy download.
