Klaus Knopper has published a new Knoppix version: KNOPPIX 6.7.1 / ADRIANE 1.4 - Live CD / DVD
These comments are based on my brief recent acquaintance with the
Knoppix 6.7.1 LiveCD and LiveUSB built from the LiveCD.
I got my non-Adriane English iso at
ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppix/
Klaus' 6.7.1 is certainly a very generous upgrade of Knoppix 6.7.
A major consideration, I think, may have been going back to IceWeasel
for reasons affecting the Adriane suite of programs. In so doing,
however, Klaus has somehow retained an avenue to obtain Chromium
if desired and upgraded many key elements of the distribution
at the same time.
The new distro has a 3.0.4 Linux kernel, a 6.0.2 IceWeasel browser,
LibreOffice 3.4.3 with all its bells & whistles and Adriane 1.4-4.
Mine boots to on-line in 59 seconds, same as Win7 start-up time
on this laptop.
In making my LiveUSB, I chose not to re-format my 6.7 LiveUSB. This
may be the reason that my 'Install Components' does not offer to d/l
additional fonts. I had these fonts on the 6.7, now I don't, and
I don't have the option to install them either. What I gained was a
small benefit of not having to re-install a few comfort-files I usually
keep on mnt-system side of the USB. My advice: do the re-formatting.
My Synaptic says Chromium is 'installed', but Chromium-Browser is not.
I suspect there's not room enough for both Chromium and IceWeasel
browsers on a normal CD which also has LibreOffice with all its extras.
I like the panel at the top of the screen. But if I select 'Panel preferences => Position: top', I have no LXDE menu, only an empty frame at the left edge from bottom. This doesn't occur with 'Position: left, right or bottom'
There is no difference, when I upgrade the LXDE stuff from stable to testing.

Own Rescue-CD with Knoppix (Knoppix V6.7.1 remaster)
I've found the cause of this strange behaviour; it is the testing version of "lxpanel". After downgrade to stable version "0.5.6-1" I have the menu at my preferred position.I like the panel at the top of the screen. But if I select 'Panel preferences => Position: top', I have no LXDE menu, only an empty frame at the left edge from bottom.
@ Werner
PCLinuxOS has another work-around at post #15 of this thread:

Cheers,
... nobody with this LXDE menu error?
Hi, Werner
I confirmed your observation when first posted;
however, I like mine at the bottom, so I didn't comment then.
Sorry.
I'm sure KK would like to know.

Thank you for your information.
I think it is an error caused by Knoppix; in the LXDE forums nobody described this behaviour. In the meantime I also asked at "debian-knoppix@lists.debian.org". Perhaps KK or anyone else has a tip for me.
.
There are some upgrades available to Knoppix 6.7.1 now in Synaptic.
Since I use a smallish LiveUSB, I don't do wholesale updates.
I only do selective updates that I expect may have some significance.
I would expect that
IceWeasel 6-something to 7.0-1 is probably is worth switching-to; but
LibreOffice update from 1.3.4.3-1 to 1.3.4.3-2 may not be worth the effort.
Just judging by the version syntax.
I note that
NetworkManager update from 0.8.4.0-2 to 0.9.0-2 is possible;
I hope someone will give us an informed opinion on this one.
Comments on other hidden gems, and other opinions are surely welcome here.
Hi, Werner.
This may be too late, but here goes:
Have you investigated the Desktop Preferences pop-up GUI to make your menu appear?
That is: Right-Click (on desktop)>Desktop Preferences>Advanced tab>Show Menus.
That might be worth a try.
