Live CD recommendation needed

I need to test the Linux TBS driver from a live CD environment in order to identify where an intermittent problem is coming from.
This means one in which I can access the kernel source and devel files and compile the drivers before running Kaffeine.

My current problem is that I have MythTV installed. On bootng up it or kaffeine will work as expected but after a few days, Whichever one is running will cease to get any stations and the wireless mouse barely moves across the screen. Reboot and all is well again - for a few days.

As the TBS-6280 card and drivers are fine after a reboot, I'm guessing it might be something in my dstro (Mageia 5).
Hence the idea of booting on a (non-Mageia) live CD and seeing how that pans out.

Hi brutus2675

Do you mean that you want to get the orignal card driver files?
all version of our drivers you can get on our download page.

Thanks

Thank you but you have missed my point completely.

I want to boot on a live distro, compile and install the the TBS drivers.
Start up kaffeine and see if contact continues indefinitely.

I need to choose the best live distro for this.

Better use open-source driver
