The tutorial that i read when i was learning how to make knoppix 
bootable off usb memstick was written for 3.0, it leads me to 
believe that knoppix has had memstick support for the past few 
releases.

I however implemented the tutorial using knoppix 3.2 so i can't 
really verify the 3.0 support, but seeing as though someone spent 
time writing it up then there must have been some good reason to 
do so.

My point in lay terms, shabdix being based on a knoppix release 
after 3.0 ~should~ have memstick support. (I think, unless it was 
decided at build time that they were not necessary, which is ok 
I guess...... :( )
