64-bit version of Knoppix


Hi there --

Does anyone know where I can get, or have available for download, a 64-bit version of the Knoppix distro? Thanks.

I downloaded knudfl's suggestion, and was a bit worried that its size was 701.1MB, however k3b in debian lenny burnt it ok to a 700MB CD (the md5sum checked out ok), and it booted up fine BUT it defaults to Japanese with the odd bit of arabic on some of the menus!

I know from browsing the CD that the knoppix browser screen (which offers various languages) exists on the disk BUT I have yet to find the cheatcode to default to english.

I would also note that my us keyboard was not functioning as usual, obviously it wasn't detected properly (my -/_ key returned -/=) and my wifi ISP has an _ in its name, unfortunately.

A four page google search didn't turn up any other x86_64 knoppix iso's, perhaps it is very rare.

I would note that the boot dialog showed three 'eth' interfaces set up and I only have wired and minipci interfaces, which is odd.

Hi there --

Thanks for everyone's replies. I downloaded the iso image in question, and burnt it onto a cd medium. The distro was successfully booted on a
test system, and appears to be properly working.

As to the issue described in the follow-up posting, I did not encounter that problem, but I did notice that when I booted up using the normal kernel, I was presented with a black screen. When I booted again using the XEN option, I was up and running without issue.
