Ooh! HamKnoppix (or KnoppixHam).  I like it.  Note that people are
already doing this as the existence of distCCKnoppix shows.

Knoppix is really a cool distro.  It does some really cool things
to be able to run from the CDrom.  That would definitely be the way=20
to go.

One thing we'd need to look into though, is how hard it would be to
get sound working, and by extension the soundcard radio modem.
That would allow people to do packet using just a radio, a small
isolator circuit and their computer/soundcard.
