Take a look at distrowatch.com to see the top 100.  Many of the new ones use 
knoppix as a base for hardware detection.  I've gone through about 15 in the 
past few weeks and today dl'd Mepis and the install missed my scsi scanner 
and scsi ZIP drive  for some reason. Apart from that the Live CD installs 
easily to a harddrive partition if you are happy with the hardware detection.  
There are smaller downloads to try -  Vector Linux is pretty new and 
smallish.
