I buy the CD's from DSL's John Andrews, so I can't help on the iso.

About the winmodem: I have a modem in this computer that will not work
on any other Linux distro but Damn Small Linux. So, there might be hope,
when you get DSL running, just cd to /etc and:
#wvdialconf wvdial.conf
If the WvDial program can detect your modem, you'll see that in the output
of wvdialconf, and it will write a wvdial.conf that you then need to edit for
your ISP's phone number, your username and password. If not, you can get
an external hardware modem, connect it to a serial port, and give that a try.
You can leave your software modem in place, for use with Windows, and use
the hardware modem for DSL.
To dial up with wvdial, just:
#wvdial
and your modem should get you connected.

Just a hasty (i.e. ill thought out suggestion)  :blues:

Why not download an ISO reading prog. such as isobuster which works under windows. (try tucows)
Open the ISO and copy the files..
Then try Rapidws suggestion of mounting the /knoppix folder on your hard drive and using a floppy to boot with.

You'll have to trawl through the forums to get the full details:)
I can't really advise you abou this as I generally do a HD install or run off the CD.
Hope it gives you an idea................

Hi!
Is there a prob with the post in Bosnia?
or just insecurity when money is send?
If its ok with John I think someone close to you can make you a copy for free...
I can for example - germany. Dunno.
Do you have any bad experience with post getting lost?
Greetz,
