Just send me an empty DVD-R with a stamped return envelope (or the
correct amount of payment for stamps) with a note telling for which
Knoppix version you wish to get the sources.
Thanks for the answer.
I asked mainly because I just answered a question at
www.knoppix.net/forum about the availability of the sources.
Personally, I'm moving away from Knoppix to stable Debian, because it
seems to be impossible to get proper development-packages for Knoppix.
You could as well just download the debian packages from the debian
snapshot mirror, and the knoppix-specific packages from
debian-knoppix.alioth.debian.org, which is surely faster than the postal
way. But since the GPL requires me to send you the sources personally on
request, I will, if you wish so.
That site doesn't include all knoppix-specific packages. At least
"linux-kernel-headers-knoppix" is missing.
