Hi Utu,

As is always the case with the Linux Magazine /CeBIT edition of Knoppix what is released is the Live DVD that would be formed if you burnt the iso to DVD. The iso itself is not made...

I always run Knoppix as a 'Poor man's Install' on my hard drive. I use Grub4DOS to boot my multi OS system and the stanza that boots my Knoppix is something like:

I should also respond to the topic of this thread. I personally prefer the DVD version because I like having all the programs available without (a) having to download and using up the image space or...

I have been playing with my Poor Man's Install of 7.4.1. Previously, (7.3 and earlier), a Poor Man's install would ask if you want a settings file on first boot.If you said yes it got stored on the...

As backup to my 'fact' I refer Capricorny to the question:

Knoppix is a distribution designed to be booted straight from portable media such as USB devices, CDs and DVDs, is this correct?

In...

Thank you Werner for that useful bit of information regarding /mnt-system/

We are always learning!

It's made specially for CeBit and Linux Magazine so I don't think one could legally make an ISO and share it.

If you are that desperate why not go to:...

Thank you, utu, for creating a little whitespace among my words. I was a bit time limited when I uploaded the text so you got to it before I considered what to do about the problem. Your white space...

I'm sorry for the above post. I created it offline with Libre Office and you can see the new lines did not take effect on this forum when I copied and pasted! I then spent time editing it but...

Why the aversion to letting Windows reduce the size of the NTFS partition?

My rule of thumb is to use the Windows tool to create/edit NTFS partitions and use a Linux tool (GParted) to create/edit...

How much RAM minimum do you suggest we need?

'really a lot of RAM' is hard to quantify!

Knoppix 7.0 (DVD only) as distributed at Cebit or on Linux Magazine.

Will appear online in due course.

That's what Klaus Knopper says anyway - provided you have more than 4GB RAM

Use of synclient does indeed make the touchpad tap and scroll work.

However it seems to need doing every session. That is, it does not store the configuration change in the persistence image...

I have put the file here for you to download:

Use a cheatcode on bootup

Doing a quick search on the web it says the desktop is located at:

What is executable about a .gz file? As I understand it, it is a zipped up library.

Rymbeke creates this to replace the standard minirt.gz of a Knoppix live CD to enable booting from an iso file...
