Version 3.4 includes the version 2.6.5 Linux Kernel and improved hardware detection. It can be downloaded from one of the mirrors listed on the KNOPPIX homepage..." rduke15 adds "Koffice has been dropped for space reasons, as well as LaTex. From the forum: 'Download using bittorrent tracker at http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de:6969/. Remember: Leave your bittorrent client running after the download is finished!' And this is the complete list of included packages."

your argument might be valid if there weren't so many people with a dvd burner complaining about the lack of an official dvd. we want it, we're tired of waiting, and they are refusing to make one? that just doesn't make sense. if so many LESS people have dvd burners, they won't have to worry so much about the dvd download will they? 5 gigs is a lot of room. i bet the amount of work it takes to add/remove software packages to the knoppix cd is pretty slim. they could easily just have a simple system to add another 3.5 gigs of useful software. instead they waste all that potential.
