Seem I am mistaken there. I thought I did use it, but I could only
find a rather old port of Knoppix to amd64, which is probably not what
you want.
The Ubuntu amd64 live CD might be a good alternative for now. It is a
bit slow booting, but it should make it a lot easier to figure out
your hardware. Unfortunately, the installation from the live CD is not
quite supported yet.
i was successful with ubuntu but i didn't know how to break out of gui and get root, so got rid of it. i've been educated on this list now, so i may do it again.
