I snagged the CeBIT rip off one of the German mirrors. Best Knoppix yet! With the HD config save feature it doen't matter if you have the DE or EN version as they both can be cheat code configured for either language and the myconfig=scan will put you right back where you left off.

I suppose the '=' and 'y' keys would be a little easier to find in the EN version :lol:

Does anybody know if apt-get is less "destructive" to KDE this time? With Knoppix 3.1 it would rip out KDE entierly. I know that now Knoppix is "stable"-Debian and it uses KDE 3.1.0 this shouldn't happen anymore. But can anyone confirm?

I've run apt-get update and upgrade and now my mouse is foobar-ed. I told the mouse deamon (xmd?) to keep settings. What should I do? I'll open a thread in the hardware forum if you like.

I found the solution somewhere on the forums, do an "apt-get remove gpm". gpm, general purpose mouse (deamon), which is for the CLI mouse cursor, sometimes interferes with X mouse handling.
But now my mouse (logitech) only scrolls down, not up :-(

As of the last few days KDE (woody) is 3.1.1, that's what I just upgraded to on one of my libranet boxes (2.2-3.0-3.1 and now 3.1.1). So you're going to run into some of the same problems, but not quite as bad as 3.0 to 3.1. There was some manual intervention required to get 3.1.1 to install. I had to use:
dpkg --force-overwrite -i *packagename
on probably 7 or 8 packages. When apt-get dist-upgrade errored out, I used dpkg --force-overwrite -i *packagename on the packages that had dependency problems, and then ran apt-get dist-upgrade, which would then proceed further and then tell me of other dependency problems, so I repeated the above process, until I had no errors.

Good news for some is that kdenetwork (kmail etc.) is now available for KDE 3.X.

I dowloaded the KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-03-21-EN.iso image last night from th source.rfc822.org mirror, and tried to use it (on two pc's), but it would not boot completely to the KDE desktop. It hangs at the KDE initialization screen, and goes no further. I did notice some error messages scroll by right after the kernel load part of the boot process.

Anyone else having an issue like this?

My bad. :) I just realized I burned an incomplete ISO. Somehow the download must have terminated last night as "Done" but is was about 100Mb short of the complete ISO file. I'm attemting the download again, but I will verify the file fist before burning.

I dowloaded the KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-03-21-EN.iso image and it appears to not be english but german. I had to start using knoppix lang=en to get it up and running in english. Even then open office is still in german.

Anybody here knows how to change that (to me) awfull KDE splash screen back to "normal" ??With persistent home, you can do the following:

Open konqueror
Create the directory ~/.kde/share/apps/ksplash/pics
Browse to ~/.kde/share/apps/ksplash/pics
Move and uncompress your new splash screen file into the konqueror window
Have fun! :-)
(source: http://www.kde-look.org/help/index.php?type=35)

Does anyone know how to get rid of the Knoppix splash without persistent home and without remastering the 700 file?

Perhaps we should have a vote on the new splash screen...

I tried knx-customize-image.exe, reburned the iso and it did not help - still german. So fan using knoppix lang=en is the only thing that works.

Any ideas how to get Open Office to change to english? I tried using the options but it still is german.

The german to English conversion does not work with knoppix-customize. I also tried using lang=us and change the default language in KDE inside kontrol but it did not change it in mozilla and openoffice.
Did Klaus make a mistake when uploading Knoppix 3.2?

P.S. if somebody knows how to change this manually throughout the entire system I would be willing to re-master it this way.

Looks like a new english version of 3.2 has been posted:

ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppix/KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-03-21b-EN.iso

The connection is very slow and only appears to be on this site at this time.

Can anyone make the 'b' version available via BitTorrent? The only "official" mirror that has it is overwhelmed since every English-speaking Knoppix user in the world is downloading the same file.

If I can get the silly thing dowloaded before April, I'll make it available.

They handle multiple sources so it may be an option...

Just a thought. I can put mine in my shared dir once I get the revision b of today's release...

I think with both PH and config saves you should be able to change everything even with the default DE ISO. I think I can even install additional apps not on the CD and have 'em stick. I'm already using Pan usenet news reader from my HD Debian installation in Knoppix.

Otherwise you'll have to edit the ISO compilation itself. I think I'll just wait for the next release as it's working great for me as is.

I may be a newbie, but from what I understand the language used in Open Office can't be changed. You can only change the language of the documents you create, but that doesn't do anything for the menus and all the rest.

I mean, if I want to print right now, I have to "Drunken" my documents. :lol:

If I'm wrong guys, let me know.... but don't just say I'm wrong; post the instructions, please!

Good luck all.... :)

Is is just me or is kscd missing in Knoppix 3.2? Never mind though, lots of things to enjoy in this release.
