You may have some luck copying Debian Woody's binary-i386-1_NONUS.iso
to KNOPPIX_V3.1-04-08-2002-EN.iso , then rsyncing it from, say,
planetmirror. They should have many files in common.

Hmmm... UWA's WAIX-only IP addresses are still unhappy. We can
_probably_ get it for free, but I wish more sites had a traceroute.cgi
to test that idea...
