like having alsa autoconfigure itself after an install to the hd ?
maybe just a update to the knx-hdinstall script would do this

Yes try /etc/init.d/alsa-autoconfig in a console to configure alsa after HD install.

There seems to be a bug in apt-get. It basically doesn't work. You can apt-get update, and still you won't find packages that are most definitely there.

Example:
apt-get update
apt-get install tuxracer

That fails, and says that package tuxracer doesn't exist. That's a bummer, because one of the previous releases had this problem too.

Hope it gets fixed soon.

Anyone else verified this? It should be added to knoppix.net/bugs if so. Is it possibly just a problem with sources.list?

I am no expert, but what tree (stable, testing, etc.) was Tuxracer on?

Could be a problem with the tree and dependencies.

Try apt-get -s install (whatever)

The -s option may give you info as to why it won't install.

Doesn't really matter. Tuxracer was just an example. Replace tuxracer with package of choice (I tried dia, ogle, ogle-gui, xracer, etc). Problem persists.

When remastering I usually get all the packages I'd like to install, copy them to /mnt/hda9/knx/source/KNOPPIX/root and then I chroot there and run
dpkg --install *
I hope this helped...

i just noticed, because i'm not sure when the last working release was, that pdfcrypt no longer works with pdflatex. it used to work great.. i'm sure at least in v3.1. i'm pretty sure i've tried it since 3.2..

anyone have any ideas? i suppose it's something that i can't fix unless i remaster?

here's the error message:

When did they update that? This is great, a hot network testing tool on a CDROM! It works great and can bombard my network routers quickly from just about anywhere! Knoppix may be the only reason I buy a USB drive

whenever i burn a cd with cdrecord, when it's completely done burning, it gives me an error message which, if i was in knoppix at the moment, i could post here (i promise i will post it later but i have to switch hds). i am in redhat now, and am burning cds on the same hardware (plextor 8432 ide) without any errors. the error i get from cdrecord comes AFTER the cd appears to be fixated, the cds appear to work fine, and it says there is no error code, yet it shows me error no less. something about a plextor get speedlist cmd failing...
well i know this isn't helpful without the error so i'll get about to switching HDs and test it and post the error, but i wanted to make sure my drive worked before i posted anything. i have burned two trillion cds with this plextor under redhat before switching to knoppix though so i thought maybe it had finally died.
