Thanks for your reply. I used Knoppix because it was very easy to
install and came with a lot of useful software already, such as
Open Office. The install program is called 0wn which stands for
zero work needed. My earlier experiences with e.g. Kubuntu were a
pain, menu after menu after menu and little control over the disk
partitioning. With Knoppix all I had to do was run cfdisk and then
0wn. I have posted the items you requested on my website:

and

Another person might have a different experience. But when I
popped a Knoppix disk in my wife's laptop and got a wireless
connect with no grief I was sold. Don't mess with success is my
motto.
Knoppix has its own list: http://lists.debian.org/debian-knoppix/ . Have
you tried Debian and the Debian installer?
