Games Knoppix 4.0.2-0.3 -- Windows Partition PMI Support

[OP4Latino]

If you read DistroWatch.com, you've noticed that Games Knoppix 4.0.2-0.3 is out.

Would anyone make support for a Windows Partition PMI? or the zip from http://s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/kno40.zip can be used as well?

Thanks.

I am downloading it right now... As soon as I get it, I will work on it.
If the kernel and the initrd.gz are the same on both ISOs, most likely the matching initrd_ntfs.gz will work.

Gee, Thanks Gilles. I'll wait for your post. You're my hero

At the first look, the kernel is identical to the 401 official release, but the initrd is longer. I don't have the time to work on it now, but I will check it during the we. It may work using the 401 kernel and minirt_ntfs.gz, cf: http://s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/kno401.zip Let me know. Best Regards, Gilles

I haven't been enabled to download the iso, yet. I couldn't use the ftp because too many people was connected. I'll try to use the torrent at home when I get back.

I guess by the time I download it, you'll be done testing it over the weekend.

I'll let you know if I get done before

The kernel, linuxrc and kernel module drivers are identical to the 401 official release, but the unionfs driver. So the http://s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/kno401.zip works just fine for me. Let me know. Best Regards, Gilles

It worked.

I'm running it as I type this. Thanks Gilles.

OT:
- I'm not sure if unionfs is working right or not. I tried apt-get update and it frozen. maybe I have to change source.list.
- I got grafic accelaration with my radeon 9600 out of the box, but I got problems when I move the mouse

Try this: http://s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/gkno402.zip , it includes the Knoppix Game unionfs driver, and let me know if it works better... Cheers, Gilles
Edit: renamed kno402.zip to gkno402.zip because of official 4.02 release.

EDITED

apt-get update works better.
I have to use some keys and comment all the stable rep on sources.list because I got a time out error.

however, when I do:
apt-get install billard-gl (I use it to make sure I have graphic acceleration)
the game install fine, but X freeze up. I can't use anymore the menu.

Tried to install the wincodecs and the same

I managed to use Ctrl-Alt-F1 and do init 3, but when I try to get back with init 5 I got something like:
<7> mttr:No MTRR for e000000,40000 found

I tried one more time and the same, this time I use Ctrl-Shift-Backspace to kill X and all the system froze up.

Just in case I'm missing something

...apt-get update works better...

Unionfs is still buggy, reason for Klaus not to release the official 4.02 cd/dvd, cf link: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20612 So, we just need to wait a little bit longer, and help the unionfs team... Best Regards, Gilles
