Hi, that's me. The CDs that Bart is referring to are here:
ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux/knoppixes/skoleknoppix/
ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux/knoppixes/snofrix/
The first is the Debian unstable version of skolelinux-workstation,
the second is a more entertainment-oriented educational CD I made
for my 14-year old step-daughter. Both have a lot of educational
software, but skoleknoppix has in addition teTeX and development
tools, while snofrix has more games. Both are based on KDE 3.1.5.
Package lists are contained in the above directories.
The default language for both CDs is Norwegian, but English is
also supported with the boot option:
knoppix lang=us
