It has to be a trivial change to a knoppix CD to make it run
X -query server at startup instead of starting it's own
window manager.  I've just been too lazy to do it.  You can
get the effect by booting with 'knoppix 2' so it doesn't
start X at all, then enter "X -query server" yourself to
connect.  Knoppix is overkill, but you need something with
good hardware autodetect and a startup that includes pcmcia
activation - and the price is right...
