Can non-german Knoppix users download this gem?
Can you please post a link to a .torrent or any other way it can be downloaded ftp, web, etc...

Please

Since there have been a few requests, I put the .iso in ftp://volcano.uab.es/pub
This is just plain Knoppix 3.4 with openoffice and kde internationalization removed (I think, don't remember), and all the games in Debian I could find added.

Perhaps it is more popular than you realized. You posted in the middle of the night for U.S. users, I found the post and tried to follow the link 5 minutes after your time stamp, and I'm just hanging trying to get into the site.

Following up: I can finally get in, but there are no files there.

Hi, I just looked, and the iso is there. I know that people have downloaded it from the site, too. Here at the UAB, about 40000 students are checking their email right now. Maybe that's the problem. It seems that this is more popular than I imagined it would be. I'd really appreciate it if some gamer could bittorrent this, so that the IT people don't get mad at me for using a university server to distribute a games CD. If anyone does so, please email me michael.creel@uab.es

Thanks, M

Thanks for posting this.

There are two isos. Which one is correct?

Could someone please post a torrent. I would like to use this for a base for a remaster

**Harry Kuhman** · 11-15-2004, 07:46 PM

sorry to keep repeating, but in trying to follow the link I still get very long delays and then finally a screen that shows no files. I have tried this with multiple computers now and all I get back is
Index of ftp://volcano.uab.es/pub
Up to higher level directory

Not sure what's going on, maybe the ftp server is set to only serve files to certain ranges of IP addresses. But whatever it is, I too am hoping someone will post a torrent link.

I think its a problem with passive ftp (perhaps the machine is behind NAT or a firewall). I have only been able to download it with command line ftp utility but not things such as konqueror and wget.
I am currently downloading it and will try and put up a torrent for a day or two when its completed (i.e. later tonight or tomorrow evening).
