It is good to hear that wireless ltsp works, but in a pinch you
can boot a knoppix CD into text mode with 'knoppix 2' at
the boot prompt, then start X manually with:
X -query server
and get by with much lower resources than running
the knoppix desktop locally.  This should work with any
hardware that knoppix can autodetect - which is a lot.
