No. The Knoppix dvd, being Debian based, has the loop-aes testing
application broken out into a package called 'loop-aes-testsuite' which
is NOT included on the disk.  One must do:

'apt-get update' then 'apt-get install loop-aes testsuite', which will
install the testing application into the Knoppix live filesystem.

From there, the user performs:

loop-aes-runtests -v

On my system, the tests are then run, and the string
"*** Test results ok ***" is output at the end.  Nothing is written to
disk during this procedure - everything is in RAM - and loop-aes is
verified to work properly.
