Thanks a lot.  Unfortunately, it seems it doesn't actually boot from
CD but rather boots DOS with CD drivers installed, and Knoppix
e.g. cannot be loaded directly from there (however, one can easily
make a Knoppix boot floppy).

Since Debian and M$ boot-CDs can be started from DOS this solution is
good enough, I don't think I'll look any further for the "real thing".

So, thanks again for your help.

Ciao,
