The sixty thousand dollar question: When will it hit the mirrors?
Edit: ... in eleven days I just heard. Plenty of time to solidify my Libernet-Debian HD install or get Gentoo installed.
Even so, there'll always be a Knoppix CD nearby my computer.

11 days? ELEVEN DAYS?!?! ***E*L*E*V*E*N D*A*Y*S?!?!??!?!***
HUH!?!?! I was 'jonesing' only having to wait until the morning!!! (when I thought it would be there)
Why 11 days?!?
That is, (as they say in the movie "The Sandlot") F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!!!
11 days in internet time is like 6,530 dog years.
What gives?
Gimme 3.2!
will persistant home be in 3.2?
I'm not anywhere near good enough to set this upon my own yet--Love to, but let's be realistic...
Could a CD be set up to check several different things? I can think of lots of options right now. It's important to get rid of the need for floppies though. An extra thing to need is too much. An external USB HD would be killer for moble people! You could boot from the CD and carry everything with you. As long as the HD could track which computers it was on (there are some privacy concerns, but at last a real use for a processor serial number!) or let Knoppix autodetect as much as possible. You could even keep seperate network setting, screens, whole work environments. Plug in at home for projects, work set up for high-power coding, and buddies ready-to-go for gaming! The computer would be ambiguous only your data would matter!
I like the network storage opions too. Perhaps they could add real login support. That would be needed in most corps and would allow Knoppix to find your stuff on boot accross the network. From any PC in the company! I know servers normally handle this stuff, it would make networks wickedly easy to set up properly and securely.
[quote="mabhatter"]will persistant home be in 3.2?
Yes it is anounced, see: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html
"Possibility to create a persistent homedir with personal data and desktop settings on a memory stick or similar, optional with AES encryption."
A PersitantHomeHowTo would be cool. Will someone of you ( audioaficionado ? ) start to write it?
See at the HowTos http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/HomePage
PersitentHomeHowTo is still unwritten
So please explain us how to use this genius script...

Hey Guys, I had asked you to write about the HowTo, because
I haven't used PersistentHome yet. Inbetween I found a German
text
"http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/Knoppix Persistent Home"
attetention, it has blanks in its name.
This document seems to be written by the author of the Persitent Home
and I haven't found a link to it. (Only by history).
But I was so motivated to start the translation. Would you like
to read this text?
http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.ph...stentHomeHowTo
If you think this isn't yet a text for publicity, you can remove the
link form http://www.knoppix.net/docs/
Good night,

I hope the newest knx3.2 will have the updated scripts or you might not even be able to write to the HD. See this thread.
The KDE3.1 edaz did had the older versions and I can't write to my HD either. In my 12-12-2002 knx3.1 I can write and edit most of my HD because the scripts are absent. I burned a copy of 3.1 with the fixed PH and I could write to the HD too and create a PH file on the HD. I just haven't been able to get it to pick up the saved prior session configs and pick up where I left off.
It's all good now with the newest v3.2 from cebit.
Once you've done all the cheatcodes to get in in English, wheelmouse, working xserver, etc and then tweaked it for several hours, save the configs through the k-menu/knoppix options and next time you boot it will sit there and wait for you to hit enter or F2 before it proceeds to boot. I discovered you can enter the cheat codes right in the intial boot screen if you've memorized them and it will load them from there. All you have to do to get back to where you left off is type knoppix myconfig=scan and you will be back just like a HD installation.
Fantastic work and thanx to Klaus.
