Fw: [ltp] Knoppix works on A22p (datapoint) and on X21

[Philippe Corboz]

Dear All,

I had, on my X21, the pleasure of a similar experience as Richard's: Knoppix
works like a charm, save the modem, of course.
Even my USB-connected Iomega Peerless (20 MB) gets detected o.k., and can be
read.

My X21 is otherwise dual-boot, with Win98SE and Mandrake 8.2 (out of the
box).

Regards,

Philippe
