Knoppix3.3 based DVD- any requests or suggestions?

[rickenbacherus]

Well here's your chance to request whatever you would like to see in a Knoppix 3.3 based DVD.

This is just something I'm doing on my own and does not involve Klaus or the rest of the dev's! Please don't ask them about it.

If it's in Debian it should be easy enough to include it in the DVD or at least I will try. If it's not in Debian I will try to compile it but sometimes things just don't work out the way we want. ;) Please provide a link to any apps you would like to see that are not already in Debian because it is most likely that I will be too lazy to go searching for it myself. If you want to make a .deb that would be even better!

Please be specific in your requests- not just "I want an app that does blah...". Some apps cannot be included- for example: proftpd and vsftpd will each want to remove the other.

Should anyone care to host the .iso for download I'd like to hear from you. Also if someone would like to host the Knoppix 3.2DVD.iso send me an email.

I am not promising any specific date of offering this DVD for either purchase or download so please don't harrass me! I will however most likely offer the DVD for sale if there is enough interest in such a thing.

Please be aware that I am not becoming a rich man by selling Knoppix DVD's but rather most of that money has been spent to purchase blank cd-r media, mailers and postage to send Knoppix to those who might not otherwise have a chance to use this amazing piece of work. Thanks to those of you who have spent your hard-earned cash for something worthwhile.

Lastly, should anyone wish to help send me an email and let me know how you can assist.

I know that there is a project out there to get NTFS compatibility, and I know that it is not yet ready for primetime, but I would like to have whatever the state of the art is in NTFS read/write/resize capability, even if it may be a bit buggy yet.

The Kino video editor mentioned in another post sounds promising. Presently, I do all of that in Windows.

Any GUI based DVD burner that's easy to use - sort of a K III B for DVD.

Personally, I'd like Shogi and Chinese Chess included in the games, although they probably wouldn't have broad appeal. I found a few on sourceforge and elsewhere that I haven't had a chance to try yet, so if anyone knows of some good ones, your recommendation would probably be better than mine. I particularly enjoy the Tori Shogi variant. If no one else comes up with one, I'll check out a few and provide some links when I get a chance.

GAIM would be nice.

Definitely keep OpenOffice. If there is an open source equivalent of MS Access, I could sure use it. I've looked, but I haven't found one that I can use.

Are there any other/better Windows emulators than Wine? I haven't been able to make it work for a darn.

Maybe a 2.6 kernel option to play with?

Thanks,
JD

All the stuff at http://marillat.free.fr/ is very good though perhaps not w/o complications.

Rezound - a nice sound editor.

I don't know if this is possible but LTSP? (ltsp.org). Only if it could be made to work after a hdinstall (which is a problem for the Knoppix Terminal Server)

Perhaps combining some of the strong features in other remasters. Overclockix has some nice stuff that isn't in the default Knoppix. Also KnoppMyth is very cool...is there a way to build on it?

This is probably too much stuff to worry with, but you asked. :-)

[j.drake]

GAG, at sourceforge, IIRC

If there's room, I kind of like the Firebird and Thunderbird packages of Mozilla , but I realize that both are essentially components of Mozilla, so no big deal.

Fact is, I still don't know that much about Linux applications and what's available to make meaningful suggestions.

[MattT]

An area where Knoppix has been weak is in web server apps. How about some good tools like PHP, an open source Java compiler, PostgreSQL, Quanta, and Apache.

[paradocs]

Hi again,

Like MattT says, server apps would be good.
You can suck in all that good stuff from the original
ZOPE disk.

We just about have half a DVD by now. :wink:

Just one suggestion if you can improve the Greek support (ttf and console fonts, keyboard switching between English - Greek using shift alt combination e.t.c.).

I suppose there's a patch for it somewhere but SATA support is supposed to be in the forthcoming 2.6 Kernel which from all accounts sounds like it will be released soon.

Haven't tried it yet, but I've heard that X-CD-Roast uses a graphical interface to burn DVDs. I could sure use something like that.

http://www.xcdroast.org/

Thanks

I've also heard that the latest K3B burns DVDs with a graphical interface. In my case, I need it to work with DVD+R and DVD+RW.

[djones]

I second (third?) the nomination for k3b (latest version, that can burn dvds).

Once I tried installing Knoppix on my hard drive (turned into Debian of course). It booted into a little login menu that allowed you to choose which desktop to use (kde, gnome, etc.). Put that menu in there! (And put all those other desktops on there too; just leave kde the default and you shouldn't confuse people too much.)


And on the hosting issue: Forget ftp. Forget http. Just go with BitTorrent. Never worry about bandwidth costs again.

I'm downloading the latest version of the Knoppix CD iso with BitTorrent as I'm typing this. So far I've download 67MB and have uploaded 94MB to other people. This is the greatest thing since sliced bread.


BTW (just slightly off-topic) did you know that you can now get a dvd burner that can do all five recordable dvd formats for only US$132??? Blew my mind when I saw that...

[jupiter]

dvd::rip is a great app to backup dvd's, it's the only gui ripper I found for linux, but it needs a lot of gnome dependant libraries and is hard to install under knoppix with only kde...

I would also like to find default versions of games like tuxracer or vegastrike, which are apt-get'able but not allways easy to get running... (cursor gets blocked on launching and I have to restart X for vegastrike...)

Opera is a great browser which is much lighter than mozilla... It would be a pleasure to have it by default...

Shorewall or some default netfilter configuration possibility for routing would be a great idea to make NAT and routers installations easier with knoppix... an optional icmp block, tripwire...

More available services from the menu... why only 4 by default... apache, ftp, irc, ... Isn't linux becoming king of the network???

Some network chat client like amsn... or a program wich is capable of connecting multiple networks (aol, msn, icq, yahoo, irc, ...), like trillian for win***s

Webcam integration would also be a great implementation in my believes...

Finally, the 2.6 kernel seems to have great functions... perhaps a possible choice in the lilo menu?

Anyway... my needs are nothing compared to the accomplished work, knoppix is the best linux version I found for the moment... and I will buy the DVD wheither my requests are included or not...
I apologize for the spelling,
thank you for your work, please keep it that way :o

:idea: You know it would really be great if Knoppix would go the route of MEPIS create a main DVD and/or CD and then a second DVD/CD that has tons more programs to add in, ready to go. That would certainly solve some of the space issuses with a regular CD set, and benefit with the "conversion" process for those migrating from some other OS.

[mwilke]

Hi,
I use mostly LYX for text editing I guess You will put the new release on teh DVD.

It would be great to have a programm fot handlig bibliographic entries like

tKbibtex
http://www.cat.csiro.au/cmst/staff/pic/tkbibtex.html

sixpack
http://www.santafe.edu/~dirk/sixpack/

Of curse the is the need to configure the pipes (eg for tkbibtex):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LyX is configured by adding a line like

\serverpipe "/home/autom/pic/.lyxpipe"
to the ~/.lyx/lyxrc file. This will cause LyX to create two named pipes (FIFOs) called .lyxpipe.in and .lyxpipe.out which are used by the client.
These names should match those used by tkbibtex, set in either the top part of tkbibtex proper, via the .tkbibtexrc file, or the -lyx command line option:

tkbibtex -lyx .lyxpipe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will be your customer of curse :-)

[djones]

Well here's your chance to request whatever you would like to see in a Knoppix 3.3 based DVD.

(...snip...)


From your post, it looks like you don't have a problem with including packages that can't be hosted on Debian because of license issues, therefore I nominate Squeak.

http://www.squeak.org/index.html

Squeak is AMAZING. Apps written for Squeak will run unmodified on almost any modern platform, from PDAs all the way up to Cray supercomputers, without porting. Its inventors include some of the Xerox PARC wizards who also invented the graphical user interface and a bunch of other stuff we all take for granted.

The only thing keeping Squeak out of Debian right now is its license. It's an open source license, but the license has some cruft in it that the Debian maintainers don't like. The Squeak people intend to fix the license someday.


Another package I would like to see: Rekall.

http://www.thekompany.com/products/rekall/

This takes care of the MS Access equivalent that j.drake asked for. They just announced they are releasing this under the GPL.


Synaptic:

http://www.nongnu.org/synaptic/

This is really more for the people who will be using the Knoppix disk to install Debian on their hard drives (that's how I first did it). Why make them do apt-get install synaptic, if you can just put it on the disk for them...



Here's one to keep an eye on: an awesome symbolic math package (similar to Mathematica or Maple or Mathcad) called Axiom.

http://www.nongnu.org/axiom/

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/math/axiom.html

The open source version of Axiom is quite new and still under heavy development, but it may reach a usable state soon if it's not there already. I know some math people who are stuck using Windows right now, and I would like to show them Axiom running on Knoppix and blow their minds.


K3B has already been mentioned numerous times. This one is especially important because it will allow people to easily make copies of your Knoppix DVD for their friends.


BitTorrent has also been mentioned. Gotta put the latest version (3.3) of the BitTorrent client on there, if it isn't there already. (And make sure it is installed so that all of the installed browsers will use it automatically when the user clicks on a torrent link.) BitTorrent is important because it lets people download big .iso files and such really efficiently, and because it lets people like you and me distribute big .iso files without having to worry about hosting issues!


I see in your poll that 63% think that $10 is the best price, and 27% think that $15 is the best price. So split the difference, and go for $12.


The existence of BitTorrent and inexpensive ($112) DVD burners means that the number of people who will order a disk for $12 may not be large. But hopefully, as word spreads about Knoppix, the number of people who will order a disk for $12 will gradually increase anyway. Definitely worth doing no matter which way you think about it.

--------

I think there should be a DVD version of Knoppix that includes all of the packages that have been removed from earlier versions of the CD (except packages that are totally obsolete). What limits are there on the size of a practical Knoppix DVD?

Obviously, there is the 4.7 GB limit.

Before that, you would hit the 2GB limit. Some people are using file systems (FAT32 for example) that cannot hold any file larger than that. Since many potential Knoppix users are current Windows users who cannot even download a file larger than 2GB, it would probably be wise not to piss them off by making your image too big for them to download.

Another limit to consider is the RAM limit. Since Knoppix works by building a virtual partition in RAMdisk with symlinks to the actual files in the clooped read-only image, adding a lot more files to the image will grow the RAMdisk and make less RAM available for actually running the kernel and the apps. Since many potential users are running Win98 and have 512KB of RAM or less, this might prove to be a problem if Knoppix gets too big. (As I understand it, Win98 will choke if you try to run it on a system with more than 512KB of RAM, so adding more RAM may not be an option for some people.) I have no idea how many more packages you can load before this becomes a problem for a significant number of people. So let's find out the hard way...

Once somebody gets a version of a Knoppix DVD available as a BitTorrent, I expect a community will quickly grow around it, expanding it and making new versions frequently. Since BitTorrent makes most hosting issue irrelevant, the only thing keeping people from releasing new versions of the .iso will be the hassle involved with actually building new .iso files. Since new tools are arriving to simplify that particular task, we may soon have an enviable problem: So many different Knoppix DVD .iso files available that it becomes difficult to choose between them!

[dobell]

It's something amazing.

You can mix the easy use of knoppix with hundreds (maybe thousands) programs. This would not be only a demo system. Ok I dont consider it a demo, I've installed ir on my hard disk, and on two friends hdd too. But having it on dvd, would be the solution of the 7 cds distributions, i think :wink:

Good if I could purchase it easyly in Spain, I'd prefer downloading the image if possible

[djones]

[replying to myself] Earlier I mentioned a 2GB limit on file size for Win98 systems. Sorry, that was a brainfart, the limit is 4GB.

The older FAT16 file system has a limit of 2GB, but since a system that old probably can't even handle a DVD drive, it's not too relevant to this discussion.

So unless a 4GB image causes problems with too much RAM consumption, it seems likely we could keep adding more and more stuff to our versions of the Knoppix DVD for a very long time.

[pablo71]

great thing to do man!

check this out:
i like the dvd idea because you can fill that sucker with libraries and dependencies and all that junk. Nothing worse that dependencies, man. I'm not a linux wiz, ya know, i'm pretty used to windows- where you
1.) download a program
2.) run it
Ya gotta admit, the world likes it that way. I sure do.
If you could fill that sucker with tons of stuff that would enable the downloading and running of a program, i'd buy a bunch off you, and then sell them to everyone I know. Take care.

PS: Just realized I should mention that I'm talking about 'after the hard drive install.' Probably didn't make much sense back there, huh ?

[cybersmurf]

it would be nice, if you included some patches for games, so that they would run on linux.
that's the only good erason why i'm still running windows.

[theoriginalkaching]

I am requesting the inclusion of PengAOL in knoppix DVD (look on sourceforge) when I was first running knoppix, I was (WAS) using AOL (sorry :oops: ) and I would have been more likely to use knoppix more if there was an aol supporting dailer in there with the other stuff. I've also requested this for standard knoppix.

[Mistshadow]

Let me get this straight; will this be almost a full Debian with extra software? Be still my heart! :D

[gowator]

My 2c (or 12$) is go with all the DVD specific stuff...
K3B > 10 is a must have :D
DRIP etc. also musts....

I wonder if this is going to be used mainly as a install or as a live Cd ??
The other thing really important is NIC drivers.
IF you can't get onto the internet your stuffed.

MY USB key holds the NIC driver for my work machines broadcom gigabit. Ive been to busy/lazy to remaster a live CD with it so I just insmod it and then restart networking each time. However the DVD would be good if it had more NIC's supported. Even if its the tarballs and you have to compile it its at least available...
At work i had to boot into Windows (I can't do a HDD install cos A its not allowed and b its an NTFS filesystem)
So I downloaded it then rebooted knoppix and copied it and compiled it then just kept the actual module.

I guess we have dial up users too so perhaps including more modem drivers etc.

Also, is the DVD all run on loopback??? Is it possible to leave a raw part outside of the KNOPPIX.sh ??

Im really new to knoppix and really impressed (1 week) - the more I use it the more impressed I am :D

Edits:
I voted $10 but its really a hassle thing.
I tried paypal and my french bank didn't put the code on my statement.
I guess I should have persisted but .....

Just an example ...
I use opera free edition.... and also firebird.
I don't object to the price of opera BUT its the hassle factor of paying.
perhaps I should try paypal again ....
Money orders are a pain in the <> internationally. It cost me $50 to send $500 to the states although they just took it out when it arrived.
I resorted to sticking $50 in an envelope covered in some thick paper for the $50 I still owed.....I guess $10 would still cost me $50 to send!!!

DOH....
Anyway, how about an option. I have no probs sending $20 worth of blank media :D

[gamtnman]

wxPython would be so great... wxPython is quickly on its way to becoming the GUI library for Python of choice. I believe there are several Debian packages already related to wxPython and ready to go...

Thanks.

[lah]

Mplayer is a must for all of us who does minor video editing. It contains a suite of programs that is very useful to master dvd video (like mplex). If kino is not included in your current list, please add that as well. Kino needs mplayer (and mplex) to transcode DV video to create DVD video from a DV camcorder footage.

Please add Freecraft, the WC II clone game. Add autotrace and pfaedit (for fontmongers who like to create their own fonts!). Pybliographer for those of us doing research and need a bibliography manager. And lastly, to take the cake, but is probably difficult to do: please add built-in support for wireless G cards, such as those using the Atheros chip or PrismGT chip: http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/ or http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/

Oh, and one more thing: full support for NTFS (not just read only), if at all possible. This way, I can just boot the DVD and save all work files to the Win XP drive. Thanks in advance for all your hard work.

[gowator]

Ok this is just my humble opinion BUT
I reckon including games is not the idea of a DVD edition, indeed it can be the subject of a seperate edition which might use DVD....

However whats really needed at the momenet is more support for the DVD burning and associated stuff by which video editing etc. can be included.

Also the chicken-egg modem/lan drivers are important (IMHO) but I dont see a way round the

And lastly, to take the cake, but is probably difficult to do: please add built-in support for wireless G cards, such as those using the Atheros chip or PrismGT chip:

The first one is of questionable use and damned hard to set up and needs a patched kernel (which for those who need it is good but offers less in terms of stabilty to others) (p.s. Im actually in the group that need it but Im trying to look at it fairly)
The second is commercial and you need a license + you still need the winBlows drivers which would not be distributable legally.

There exists a Debian package for the former BUT its illegal to export outside of the US outside of the US.....


The first rule should be that it should include everything possible to allow the user to connect to the internet from boot. This is absolutely critical IMHO....

Second is that it should include DVD writing and remastering so those who want games can get on and remaster a games edition :D

[mcaycedo]

An area where Knoppix has been weak is in web server apps. How about some good tools like PHP, an open source Java compiler, PostgreSQL, Quanta, and Apache.

I was able to launch Apache with support for PHP using the command /etc/init.d/apache start, and was able to launch mysql too (/etc/init.d mysql start). Upload some MysQL dump from another database, copy the scripts and voila, an Web Server with database support. All, using Knoppix 3.3 LiveCD, without Hdd Installation

[mcaycedo]

One area where Knoppix is weak (IMHO) is in the programmer arena. I imagine you won't include SUN Java because licensing problems, but would be nice if Knoppix included it. Eclipse, would be nice (with a ton of pluggins). Gtk , Programmer Reference documents, examples focused on Web Development (scripts, access to databases), Postgres, Firebird (the database)

[Alphaghost]

Hi, I'm still learning Linux but running into problems finding a Live cd/dvd version with drivers for my NIC preinstalled. I have an Asus AN78X mobo and I have tried alot of different versions but none of them work. Adding driver support for this board would be great!

[Snow]

Ok. Let me see if I get this right. If we pay 15.00 for a Knoppix DVD it covers the cost of the DVD and free CD versions for Who?

I dont have a problem paying 15.00 for a DVD release of Knoppix because I figure it will be a much more complete Linux release. But I would like to know where the rest of the money is going to. And I know it is for free Knoppix CDs. But for who?

[jweby]

I would like to see all the great Linux screen savers inlcuded in KDE and the like for the DVD version of Knoppix.

[andrew_e]

FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)
http://flac.sourceforge.net/
Currently my favorite digital audio format.

[rickenbacherus]

Sorry but I just don't have the time for this any longer. Besides, Klaus makes much better DVD's than I can. :)

I hear that a Kanotix DVD may be in the works.

To answer Snow's question about free cd's.....I have for some time now sent many Knoppix cd's to people who otherwise can't afford one or are unable to download an image. I have not based this on any requirements but simply sent one to most anywhere in the world when asked. This too has also come to an end as I simply cannot keep up with the requests any longer. It has turned into a very costly endeavor for me and I am also tired of being accused of profiteering. I can assure you that I have not profited from the sale of any discs.

[gyro]

rickenbacherus, you da man!!!
i think its very good of you to go to this trouble, i for one would be happy to pay you 20 bucks for knx as a dvd distro . i think a mame emulator would be good.
i whish i was savey enough to pull on something like that but unfortunatly
i simply dont have the skills.good on ya!

[colin stewart]

An area where Knoppix has been weak is in web server apps. How about some good tools like PHP, an open source Java compiler, PostgreSQL, Quanta, and Apache.

I second that, I am a n00b who's trying to set up Knoppix on an Epia CL10000 as a home server (an obvious choice if you want some modestly priced modern hardware because you didn't happen to have some old hardware already laying about the place!). I also got the M10000 as that's great for other household jobs. I can at present only dream of the server (CL) streaming any media I chose to the other (M). It's a good dream though for all that!

I am struggling where I may not need to if there was a slightly more n00b friendly way of doing this. Remember n00bs have to do all the stuff the experts do, but also need to have a good linux reference book in one had at the same time too! I bet some experts would also find it tougher than usual under that circumstance! :wink:

Anything which makes setting up server oriented and multimedia oriented versions on an Epia would get my vote. I got a motherboard of each type, and don't plan to add any hardware beyond that which they are equipped with as standard (it's all in there somewhere after all!)

BOTH HD installers working would be nice; I only got knx-hdinstall to work, the other one breaks before we get started as it can't seem to see the HD partitions which are there. I am therefore not able to have a more "deb style" install, whatever that actually means (I've seen it expressed as desirable, but not yet seen it explained to precisely why - just compatibility of some kind? Or is there more to it?)

I need a good firewall (a clear gui option would be appreciated here), and a mail server, a web server, maybe an FTP server, and defintiely a news server (granted that's a rarer one probably) I also want it to serve DNS for the lan (bind/bind9?) <shrug>

As a n00b I can't tell you specific packages because, of course, I have not seen them yet, but I know some of the functionality I want to end up with under knoppix. More specific package suggestions from me after only my first week might be quite bad due to inexperience. However I hope these ideas might act as a guide to what some users might find useful though. :lol:

Oh, and very good luck with it of course! :wink:

[mcaycedo]

Well, about the server stuff, Knoppix includes Apacha + PHP and MySQL. You only have to start them. Launch one console and type:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache start
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start (knoppix 3.4 doesn't include mysql but older versions yes)

And you will have a web server fully operational

In the streaming arena you should try http://dynebolic.org/. This is one live cd focused on Audio, Video and streaming

That's one very cute site - you gotta love it really :lol: Not sure how it'd quite work in with my other plans, but it's very neat anyway, how to use it's particular talents may become apparent later too! :lol: Thanks for the help

One thing is getting clearer to me now, the more you use knoppix, the more it grows on you, and how similar it is to debian, gets to feel less important to you somehow. Rare, but nice :wink:

[Stefanet]

Hi,

What about adding the Gnat compiler and the GPS (ADA and C++) Ide ?
It's very easy to use, powerfull and does not eat too much disk place !!

Someone interrested ?

Can someone tell me who I have to mail for such requests ?

Thanks

[r0ssar00]

could u try to put vsftpd in? also ssh server?

i want to set up a http/ftp/ssh server using a livecd

i would really appreciate it if you put vsftpd and sshd in the distro

[frostman]

The single thing I wish for most is the latest stable version of PostgreSQL, with potentially a bunch of contrib/ stuff compiled in and added to template1, but especially with tsearch2 (the full-text index stuff).

It would also be nice to have pgadmin3.

Also both apache1/mod_perl/etc and apache2/mod_perl/etc. And of course all of CPAN ;-)

Also, yes I would buy one for ten bucks, happily.

Looking forward to it.
