Hello,

Pieter Jonker was so kind to translate my
german Knoppix Tutorial into english. See

Enjoy it - or even better: improve it!

Hello,

could somone of the forum moderators be so kind
and move this topic to the forum "News"?

I don't know why but I am not allowed to post
new topics in the forum "News".

Thank you and bye
Karl

schock,

Only mods can begin posts in the News forum, but I will move this post to News. I don't have time right now, but you might want to add this (or a link to this) in the Docs section. The Docs section is a wiki so anyone can add to it. Just click the "edit" button at the bottom of the proper page.

Oh and by the way, nice work!

Hello Aay,

> I will move this post to News.

Thank you very much.

> you might want to add this (or a link to this) in the Docs section

That's a good idea. I added links in FaqUsing, GetSupport and KnoppixLinks.

> Oh and by the way, nice work!

For your pleasure.

I have found a bug in your tutorial

In Lesson 2 - Configuring Knoppix, I. Configuring the screen, 2. Use the KDE Control Panel, you say

Click there with your left mouse button at the tab "Index" first on "Peripherals" and there on "Display". With this you open the "XFree86 Configuratin"-window

However I can find nowhere an option to open KXConfig there. You seem to imply that KXConfig will open automatically. That would be really neat, but the only way I have found to run KXConfig is with Alt+F2, I didn't even know that such a useful thing existed.

I'm using Knoppix 3.5 LinuxTag DVD with lang=en, but the same applies to 3.4.

I noticed a repeating spelling error. The word "than" is incorrect and should be "then" in most places.

Other than that it's nice to see somebody making yet a Knoppix tutorial.

No option is necessary.

Yes. A **click on "Display"** opens the KXConfig-Window
automatically as you can see in the image beneath the text.

Indeed, this error occurs more often "then" tolerable

I found the posts about the word "than" being misused a bit odd.
I didn't find any instances of the words "than" or "then" being used incorrectly. I have to assume that the document has been updated since these previous posts.
