Yes, I am talking about sarge-i386-netinst snapshot.
But the Knoppix CD I have is also a release 2003-11-19 (I have
recorded both CD's the same day).

Yes, that's what appears for a second when it boots (I press [Pause]
to freeze to read it).

I tell you even more. 20030817 and 20030928 snapshots of
sarge-i386-netinst also boot OK on my computer, and they are both also
ISOLINUX 1.75.
Just the BETA-1 20031109 release doesn't boot.
