GNOPPIX version 0.5.4-1 was downloaded:
wget ftp://source.rfc822.org/pub/local/gnoppix/gnoppix-0.5.5-2.iso
Then booted with:
credativ lang=en wheelmouse screen=1280x1024
Works just fine. Choose to install to hard disk from the icon. This allowed the disk to be partitioned and configured, but there were problems on reboot with the tty1 printing / as -. So use a traditional install.
