So we keep the original composition of the knoppix distro. Also I would like everybody to suggest more packages which can be included with the distro. We can free up space by removing packages which are not needed. e.g. the packages for italian, chinese etc language support :-)). Let's make this as good as possible for the user.
If you want to know the packages that come with the default Knoppix distro check out:

Gnome 2 was very buggy and unstable. suggest you stick to the standard knoppix distro. Changing packages and distributing the cd without thorough testing that too to newbies would be a horrible thing to do.

I agree with terrence here. Those who are trying out linux for the first time should experience as less problems as possible. Other if there are problems with packages, This mighr mar their first tryst with Linux. We want to attract people to Linux and FS/OSS not make them bother with the internal workings right away. Just my 2 paise.
