Get knoppix from?
All mirrors that I've tried seem hideously slow.
Any place recommended?

For some reason....
I nearly always get Great throughput from:
[link|ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppix/|The Primary Distro Point]
I usually average about 160KB/Sec throughout the day/night.
Iffn I had a fat PIPE, I'd host it right now. Sorry.

SPROOIIINNNNGGGGGGG!!!!
My IS Director (mainframe, usually would like to see me dead, or at least silent) came to me with a problem.
1st he wanted to know I used the MF. X3270 in 132 column mode. Better looking than even he has.
Then he explained that no one makes 3270 dumb terminals at a price we are willing to pay for. But real PCs are way overkill. And we have a stack of throwaway PCs, PIIs, Celerons, etc, that will not run Win2K. Can\ufffdt we use those?
My response is that any non-standard hardware is a support killer, that was why he got rid of it all when he had the chance. But if we could treat it as a CD bootable workstation and throw it away if it breaks, then it is usable.
KNOPPIX!
1 minute after rebooting we were logging into the mainframe.

How do I modify it?
I'd like to autostart the x3270 session.
I guess I'll have to copy the ISO image into the
file system, unroll it, make my changes, and copy it back.
It there a documented way, or an I on my own?

Why not look at this link I posted earlier...
[link|http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/gnumed/gnumed/gnumed/test-area/knoppix/readme.html|How-to remaster Knoppix to include] GNUmed. But it would apply to your need also. just use it as a guide. not a bible.

I think there is a simpler way
You can save your configuration to a floppy .
This is via the KMenu->Knoppix->Configure->Save
Then boot via
knoppix floppyconfig
This will load everything up the way you had it set.
This will NOT save the current programs. But it seems to give you
a hook into modifying the startup, so I'll look there.
If that doesn't work, then I'll roll my own.

Confused
What do you mean?
Anyway, extract out the configs.tbz file, drop in my own
shell scripts in .kde/Autorun, and done.
I think Knoppix should default to looking at the floppy
during boot, rather than force the user to type in the command.

Understand now
Actually, no, you didn't beat me.
I was typing into IWETHEY, and testing, and typing,
and testing. I may have submitted 12 seconds after
you, but at least I provided real information, as
opposed to random suspicions.
To call what you did "beating me" would be the
same as saying vaporware wins over the real thing.
HA!

There's also a floppy config
I haven't looked at it; dunno if it does startup stuff too. Worth investigating at least, though, I wot.

Re: Sure. They make 800MB CDs.
So what's with the 650Mb data limit? Is that a consequence of Joliet?

NFC.
I see a CD in the store that says "800 MB" on it. I buy it. It works.

Actually
When they say 700MB on a CDR they mean 700 Logical MB (1MB= 220)
So 713 Million Bytes falls below 734,003,200 Bytes which is what the theorectical amount is. But minus about 18,000,000 for TOC and Session mgmt... you got your magic number of ~716 Million Bytes or 682.8 MegaBytes
800MB/90Min CDR's actually hold 838,860,800 Bytes or then again - 18.2million bytes for TOC and session mgmt = 782.5 MegaBytes.
800MB/90Min CDRs Are [link|http://www.aec-media.com/cdrsil16x90m.html|available (100PK)] right now. I would stick to 80Min/700MB CDRs (which I am sure Yendor Mike meant!!!) as they are easier to get.
