   And I still intend to keep this off the list.

   I have the drivers and utilities compiled and installed in Knoppix.
I do not need to install a different kernel in my stable, and 
mission-critical, BL2.

  Knoppix lives on its own partition, about 20 GB.  There is plenty of room.
I shall be restricting my efforts to Knoppix, or perhaps Slackware 12 when I 
get a round tuit.
