Not actualy out yet, but very close. dakota has sent me a provate message that indicates it will be first released at Linux-Tag in 2 days. abittner has posted this message (http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19682) in the Knoppix-DVD forum. If our experience with 3.8 is any indication, it may be a couple of weeks or more before we see official files on the mirrors or on BitTorrent (I would urge using BitTorrent over the mirrors, particularly for the DVD version.)

If anyone at LinuxTag gets the Maxi (DVD-ROM) discs, please consider making an ISO & a bittorrent of them & then submitting them to either Welcome to The Linux Mirror Project (http://www.tlm-project.org/) or LinuxQuestions.org - ISOs (http://iso.linuxquestions.org/) so that it can get quickly mirrored.

* * E D I T * *
It is only a matter of time before it hits big sites like OSNews or Slashdot (please don't post it there, I would want it well seeded before that.)
As of 12:15am Eastern, the current ratio is 189:837. Please continue to seed this DVD after you have completed the download.

I put up some screenshots of Knoppix 4.0 on my site. (http://www.virtualacuity.com/james/knoppix-other/knop40/) There are three galleries: One for general Knoppix 4.0 menus & applications. One for the a HD Install (read http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Hd_Install_HowTo before attempting). And one for after the HD install.

would it bet legal to make iso out of the cd/dvd and post it publically on the internet? i mean not all the stuff that is on those media is licensed under gpl, such as the knoppix logos and other stuff might need some permissions of the actual copyright holders...

or am i mistaken here?

of course knopper as the creator/publisher of knoppix has all the rights to release his knoppix as he choses to and to upload it to the internet, but if he first distributes it on cd/dvd media are we allowed to share it on the net before he choses to do it that way?

anyone knows the legal details?

Other than being split between a CD and DVD version what other changes are there in the base system and knoppix tools (not just added apps) since 3.9? I am curious because I have just spent quite a bit of time moving my knoppix based distro to 3.9 and need to know if it will be worth it to move to 4.0 or whether I should just wait for 4.1 or 4.2.

dakota
06-22-2005, 09:00 PM
What I heard is that UnionFS is now working and several enhancements from Knoppix based distributions like Kantonix, Quantian, Paipix, Freeduc ... flowed back into Release 4.0. For example some Hardware support for widely used ISDN and DSL-Hardware from AVM, a enhanced Harddisk-Installer, and so on.
The DVD-Version is also directly bootable into the software-distributionsystem "m23". They also brought two e-books on it ("Knowing Knoppix" in english and "Knoppix Kompakt" in german). Also if you wish to choose between 4 different offices (OO 2.0 Beta(Build 104), KOffice, Abiword and Gnumeric), you should use Knoppix 4 :-)
So I think you can wait for the next version if you know something else to do while waiting on it...

It defaults to both a German keyboard map and German for all dialogs & menus.

The past release of Knoppix 3.8 Cebit Edition was German only and I hexedited the ISO file and created a fully default US English version.

ZymMaking a new CD or DVD from an existing disc is called remastering. In theory, unless something has wildly changed it should be possible to remaster a Knoppix 4.0 DVD into a CD. This process is almost nothing like jigdo, which is a pretty sweet method of creating CD images. Read the wiki Documentation link at the top of the page or visit the Customising & Remastering forum for more info.

Well, it certainly will survive until the offical 4.0 comes out; there will be plenty of interest until then. The last thing that BitTorrnt needs is the swarm to split to another tracker, that only reduces the speed on downloads. And putting it on a server isn't going to help the swarm much either (although may help those behind a corporate firewall that they can't use BitTorrent efectively from still steal bandwidth).

Longer term, yes, the Torrent for this will die as the offical releases from Klaus come out. It seems that maybe that's the way it should be. I would be more concerned that all of the old official ISOs vanish from the mirrors than I would be that some unofficial torrent be archived on a server forever. Rather than expend the server space to permanently archive and make available this unofficial release, I would be happy to see a server that still offered the CD versions back to 3.1 and maybe before that.

Sounds like you have found a great well seeded tracker. Would you post a link to the torrent that you used?

justin_c
06-24-2005, 07:20 PM
I'm using the default tracker posted before, which connects to a tracker with the domain: mongo.org

in the meantime, i'm going to send it over to TLM project and see if they can set up a better tracker and is officiated by the project tlmproject.org they have they're own proprietary tracker

Note in the screenshots that cloop has been upgraded to 4.0 GB and a second cloop added? This accounts for the ability to load to 4.0 GB. If you can't decompress 4GB file with cloop because cloop is too small (say normal CD size 2GB) would make sense.

I have tried bittorrent via the links and have received error messages on each attempt, one occurred after 1GB download saying I had two instances of the file.

I have bittorrent 4.2.1-2 installed.

Cannot download without errors.

<<Unfortunately, I don't think I am. See my post in the Lounge forum.>>

I don't think I am either. I'm using the 3.7 version (the last to use the 2.4x kernel) because my system seems to like it better than the 2.6 version.

Even if I got a new system, I would look at the CD version of Knoppix 4.0 first instead of the DVD.

And if I get a new laptop, which I've been thinking about, I'd get a 64 bit Turion laptop and try 64 bit Kanotix on it. :-)

Anyway, I don't think I need the DVD 4.0 version, especially if Klaus has made extra room on the CD by removing all the "developer" stuff to the DVD version, hopfully leaving more room for a few more well chosen end user applications.

That brings up another point. Though I think Knoppix does have a lot of well chosen applications, there is a lot of redundancy on the distro. I mean how many editors do we need? I'm not complaining though. Knoppix is pretty complete even as a CD version.

I'm having terrible troubles trying to install to HD from the DVD. Booting using knoppix lang=us in a VMWare virtual machine. The machine is set with a 6gig IDE virtual drive, mem at 256M, CDROM is the ISO image. So it looks a lot like your sample images.

Running sudo knoppix-installer brings up the partitioning, and I set a 5.5gig EXT3 Primary Partition, and a 0.5 gig swap partition. I mark the EXT3 partition as Active. Save and then quit. And it recycles back to "Not ready to install..." and brings up the partitioning option. Nothing I do can make it get past that. I've tried formatting the partitions etc, and nothing works. Also tried it as SCSI virtual drive.

Everything looks the same as yours, but it just wont move past the partitioning.

FYI: I'm a computer programmer, have installed many versions of Linux, but VMWare and on actual machines. Have install Knoppix into VMware before as well.

Any ideas?

I used VMWare Workstation 4.5 & the latest 4.5 binary build from vmware.com on Windows XP Pro SP2.
If I recall correctly ... I set the new VM to use Linux (other Linux 2.6 kernel). Approx 256 MB of RAM for the VM. IDE not SCSI. I set the IDE HD to 15GB but instead of a dynamic growing virtual disk I chose to made it make pre-write out all 15GB & this took a couple mintues to write out all 15GB. Bridged networking. Everything else set as normal defaults. Before booting the the VM, I set the virtual DVD drive to use the Knoppix 4.0 DVD ISO file itself instead of using a real physical burned DVD-R. The only boot time cheat codes used was lang=us.

I hope this helps.

KarlYes they are still in German. The F2 & F3 screens are just a simplified version of the following text file /Root-of-DVD/KNOPPIX/knoppix-cheatcodes.txt (also found at any Knoppix download mirror like http://debian.ams.sunysb.edu/knoppix/knoppix-cheatcodes.txt) which is entirely written in English. So it is not necessary to edit or translate the F2/F3 portions of the ISO.

I hope this helps.

In most cases a ISO is essentially a read-only medium. I can skirt around that by flipping bits (hexediting) the ISO.

doneI am not shooting down your ideas to be annoying but I was just wonder if it could be done with either an existing Knoppix disc or with 100% Free tools. I know about remastering seeing as how I wrote a HOWTO on it. Not everyone knows about remastering or wants to remaster. Also not everyone runs windows either and of those that do, cygwin (a really awesome collection of utilities & GNU tools) may be too confusing for them. I have yet to try mkisofs on cygwin since I usually use windows to play games or run ssh to connect to a *nix box. For those just getting into Knoppix/Linux, remastering or reconstructing the ISO is probably too much too soon.

To my knowledge, it doesn't exist either (although you know more than I do). I was wondering why not myself, since you can use a program like WinISO (http://www.winiso.com/) to add and delete files from ISO images, without extracting them, and then save the result. In Linux, you can mount an ISO 9660 image, but it's read-only.

Anyway, it's pretty easy to extract the Knoppix CD/DVD, make your changes, and save the results to a new ISO image if you know the "magic incantations" of mkisofs, which are in the Wiki (http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Remaster_From_Hd_Install_HowTo#Step_7:_Make_the_fi nal_iso_ready_for_burning_to_CD) (use the mkisofs command for Knoppix 3.4), especially if you're not making any changes to the cloop files.

I was wondering why not myself, since you can use a program like WinISO (http://www.winiso.com/) to add and delete files from ISO images, without extracting them, and then save the result. In Linux, you can mount an ISO 9660 image, but it's read-only.

Anyway, it's pretty easy to extract the Knoppix CD/DVD, make your changes, and save the results to a new ISO image if you know the "magic incantations" of mkisofs, which are in the Wiki (http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Remaster_From_Hd_Install_HowTo#Step_7:_Make_the_fi nal_iso_ready_for_burning_to_CD) (use the mkisofs command for Knoppix 3.4), especially if you're not making any changes to the cloop files.

Hi justin_c, UnderScore and eco2geek,

There is a Linux ISO editing tool for use in KDE called KIso and you can find out about it here http://kiso.sourceforge.net/ Maybe it is something worth requesting that this App be added to the Knoppix disk in future although I must say I have not tried it myself.

I just don't seem to get nearly as much speed from the Torrents as I do Emule or BearShare.

I did test the Knoppix 4.0 de though and sadly enough I could not get it to work for printing.
I have a HP deskjet 5100 and it would not work. It is attached to the USB port as well.

Speed, of course, depends on the speed of the site or sites that is sending the file, but if this is an overall true statement including for the Knoppix CD torrents then you're likely not using BitTorrent right. I've talked about how to set BitTorrent up in other threads, but It's straying far off-topic for a NEWS thread on Knoppix 4, so I'm not going to duplicate that information here. Just consider that there may still be things that you could learn and search the forums for recent mention of BitTorrent or research it more on your own.

This older one installed http://www.podulator.com/debs/kiso/kiso-0.7_0.7-1_i386.deb but for some reason only works with "kdesu kiso"

Can't someone just make: md5sum filename ??Perhaps or perhaps not. MD5 checksum is a way of fingerprinting files. Just like a real fingerprint identifies a single person, a MD5 checksum is unique and matches exactly one file. Do you know that the English plus qemu version is different ISO file as compared to the original 4.0 DVD ISO? I have not downloaded the English+qemu version & if I make a md5sum off of the original, it will only be appropriate for the original. Only those people who have downloaded the english+qemu version will be able to make the md5sum that you need. The guy who makes this english+qemu version is chris-uk (http://www.knoppix.net/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=10959) and that link I post is his site. You can contact him or you can wait for some kind person to make a md5sum of the english version for you.

Of course, if someone else makes one and his and your md5 sums don't match, it really doesn't tell you which of you have the bad copy. Unless you expect to get md5 sums from several people it would be best to get one from chris-uk. The good news is that unlike the mirrors that have a bad track record of delivering corrupt files, BitTorrent has it's own checksums built in and checking the md5 sum, while still a nice step, isn't really needed.

meatwaad

It is a good practice to provide md5 or sha sums along with important files, like images of OS for example. I dont know why he didnt do that. Anyway I was asking because I had some issues with network and wasnt sure if all went ok regarding download, but torrent managed to finish so I guess its all ok.

In response to the question about an English version posted by litdie:

There is a remastered Non-Official version available on Torrent with QEMU 0.7.0 to enable Autorun under Windows. It appears to work rather well and I do appreciate the eforts to provide this. I spent a few hours working with it and it appears to be about the same as the DE Version booted up with the "Knoppix Lang=US" cheatcode. I'm hooked! It serves well as an interim "Knoppix 4.0 Fix" for this "Knoppix-holic".

There are at least two locations available and it is a long but stable download. It took a half hour or so for the download to ramp up to speed, but it completed in about 12 hours or so from the Mininova link. Both links should work about the same.

The completed DVD will most probably fail the "TestCD" cheatcode upon bootup. The disk has been remastered and modified from it's original format and may show a few errors in that regard.

Look for them Here:

First, if you use the "lang=us keyboard=us" cheatcodes, it boots into US English just fine. (When 4.0 "official" comes out, there will be an English version, where you don't have to type those cheatcodes, of course.)

Second, AFAIK, no, you still have to issue the "lang=us keyboard=us" cheatcodes even with a saved config.

My thinking is that if Mr. Knopper moves off of the CD all the developer stuff, as I read that he would, thus leaving more room for end-user apps, then the CD will have significantly more room for applications I might use or need.

The old CD was already pretty complete. Anything missing from the new one, I would be happy to just apt-get. I'm thinking it could not be much that I'd need.

The previous poster brings up an interesting problem: FAT32's 4GB limitations. That's what I use. Hmm. A new wrinkle.

Hello,
Even inside the iso, there is 2 KNOPPIX loop back files joined together with the union file system. This due to a 2GB limit of the iso file system. One way to solve this could be to post these 2 files plus all the other boot files so each individual file is lower than 2gb and use mkisofs | (pipe into) cdrecord (using cygwin) to burn the dvd. Basically you create and burn the iso on the fly without having the temp big iso file on the disk. To replace the boot from the iso being on the hd (what we call the PMI, poor man install), we could probably do it quite easily (will need to modify the linuxrc if not already working) to boot from these two 2GB KNOPPIX & KNOPIX2 loop back files instead of the iso. Duable ...

cat first.iso second.iso third.iso fourth.iso fifth.iso sixth.iso seventh.iso eighth.iso > KNOPPIX_V4.0-2005-06-08-LINUXTAG2005-DVD-DE.iso

err, so the Windows solution would be?:


(Open command line)
>copy first.iso+second.iso+third.iso+fourth.iso+fifth.is o+sixth.iso+seventh.iso+eighth.iso KNOPPIX_V4.0-2005-06-08-LINUXTAG2005-DVD-DE.iso

Probably yes. Use md5sum to guarantee that it puts it back together perfectly.

Perhaps use /b for binary so the file isn't treated as ascii:
copy /b first.iso + second.iso + third.iso + fourth.iso + fifth.iso + sixth.iso + seventh.iso + eighth.iso KNOPPIX_V4.0-2005-06-08-LINUXTAG2005-DVD-DE.iso

Forgot about the binary. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm still downloading it.

Will do. I'll let you know what I get :)

Still waiting on the CD version....

Hosting CD-sized files for free with decent speed is hard enough for remasterizers. Some of us don't have DVD burners either.... :(You can get the NEC dual layer DVD burner for just a bit more than $40 at newegg.

I think for these bad boys, Bit Torrent will be the only practical method for the patient ones among us.

A fan of Overclockix was kind enough to get one of those for me, and 100 blanks. Sweet.

I've got it now and the md5 checks are good.

I'll keep seeding @25kBps until the EN DVD iso is available.

I got the 8 ISOs. I'm about to put them together.

What should the final md5 be?

Hello,
I just posted the new minirt_ntfs.gz required to boot Knoppix 4.0
from the ISO DVD being in a NTFS (XP) partition of the HD using grldr (grub).

Please send me some feedback.
Cheers,
Gilles

Gilles: Your Windows PMI worked fine for me.

I'm running knoppix 4.0 as I type this. Man, I'll have fun with ALL this packages. Later

I think it is like that.

The files are in a windows system. This solution is for linux, isn't it?

That's the actual command I used. You may copy from here and paste it in your cmd window (if you use the same mirror I used).

If you need help how to burn the big ISO, you need to do a search in this forum under "burn iso"

I've started a new thread on the subject, but for the benefit of those monitoring this thread and expecting an e-mail update, the official EN DVD is now released on BitTorrent (http://www.bittorrent.com/) and can be found at the official tracker (http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/)..
