I develop knopILS, a free software only Italian variant of KNOPPIX so I tried KNOPPIX_V3.4-2004-05-17-EN with this cheatcode:
knoppix screen=1400x1050 depth=24 lang=it
then I installed it to hard disk with knoppix-installer-latest-web (knx-installer_0.3-11) with this config file:
REGISTERED=" SYSTEM_MODULE SYSTEM_TYPE HD_MODULE HD_FORMAT HD_FSTYPE \ HD_CHOICE HD_MAP HD_IGNORECHECK SWAP_MODULE SWAP_AUTODETECT SWAP_CHOICES \ NAME_MODULE NAME_NAME USER_MODULE USER_NAME USERPASS_MODULE USERPASS_CRYPT \ ROOTPASS_MODULE ROOTPASS_CRYPT HOST_MODULE HOST_NAME SERVICES_MODULE \ SERVICES_START BOOT_MODULE BOOT_LOADER BOOT_DISK BOOT_WHERE INSTALL_READY" SYSTEM_MODULE="configured" # Determines if the system is a debian-derivate, a copy from CD or a nice mix of both # Possible are: knoppix|beginner|debian # Default value is: beginner SYSTEM_TYPE="debian" HD_MODULE="configured" # Determines if the HD should be formatted.

Kernel 2.4.26 worked fine, kernel 2.6.6 doesn't work (I compiled a new 2.6.7 to have a 2.6.x working environment).
All the rest (removing unneeded deb, upgrading to testing then to unstable, changing something in /etc, ...) was trivial.
After upgrading to sid, I set up the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100BG network connection (802.11g) to work with the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Driver for Linux.
$ cd ipw2200-x.xx $ make # ifconfig eth0 down # modprobe aes # modprobe arc4 # modprobe crc32 # modprobe michael_mic # ./load # iwconfig eth1 essid my_essid_name # iwconfig eth1 channel my_channel_number # iwconfig eth1 mode auto # iwconfig eth1 key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX # ifconfig eth1 my_lan_ip netmask my_lan_netmask up # route add default gw my_lan_gateway eth1
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="my_essid_name"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="my_password_plain_text"
}

Alexander Grümmer wrote me some notes about his experience with an Acer TravelMate 8005LMi: I have not tested his hardware so I write what he reports.
