Knoppix is based on the Debian distribution.  Since Debian supports all
of these platforms (except some of the SGI Risc), you should be able to
create a Knoppix-like CD for each.  At present SGI RISC support in
Debian is limited to the Indy.

The SGI RISC based systems graphic are not frame buffer, therefore they
require a device driver and the XL and XL24 used in the Indy are the
only one that currently have a device driver.
