    The archive is not password-protected, if that's what you mean. Each piece comes with a superfluous *.md5 file (superfluous because the bittorent protocol does its own error checking). How fast they reassemble on your computer would probably depend on your CPU more than anything else.

    The archive extracts to a ~2.9 GB ISO with an md5 sum of

    f7d618521bd97c3a1a54831218cadadd

    Extracting the archive is as simple as running rar x "Knoppix 6.1.part01.rar" whether you're in Windows at a command prompt, or in Linux.

    What else? You'll need to use the "lang=us" cheatcode (IIRC the "=" sign is Shift+0 on the German keyboard layout) in order to get it running in US English.

    Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks.

    I presume these files were created by "split" and are to be rejoined in alphabetical sequence by "cat". Since they are all the same length, I suspect they were split after compressing rather than before, so that cat should precede rar. I won't be able to try that until the download finishes in a couple of days.

    Thanks also for the keyboard tip. I can read German, more or less, but have an American keyboard.

    Just out of curiosity - why split the file? To send as e-mail?

    No, don't do that - it's a multi-volume archive. It wasn't split after compression, it was split during compression, by the archiving program itself. (RAR allows you to pick the size of each volume.) Feed RAR the name of the first volume, and it will work through them.

    I don't actually know if you'd still be able to decompress the archive if you cat'd all the parts together...but it's not meant to work that way.

    Maybe the torrent's author also meant to post it to a binary Usenet newsgroup, or maybe they downloaded it from Usenet in the first place. Who knows. Multi-volume archives make sense on Usenet, but they don't when using bittorrent.

    addendum - Unlike 5.3.1, with 6.01 my wireless works "out of the box." Since 5.3.1 there has also been a critical bug fix in ntfs-3g. These things matter to me, but the eye candy is irrelevant, and I'm hoping for the full complement of technical tools found in the 5.3.1 DVD.

    I have experienced the same won't-boot problem as Carolus described.

    I have spent the last 3-4 days downloading the 31 files Knoppix 6.1 DVD package.
    The download was completed 4-5 hours ago and was WINRAR to create "Knoppix 6.1.iso" file of size 3,017,982KB. I then used Nero Express to burnt the iso file into an DVD. I have experiencing DVD burning problems with Nero and/or the DVD media which I believe I have fixed that (Nero error: internal target error). Thereafter, I have tried booting the DVD with or w/o cheatcodes but end up failed at the very beginning of each boot. Below I am giving the detailed information about the failed boots:

    1. Boot without any cheat code
    a. display is in German
    b. right after the line ">>> Bitte den Datentrager..............<<<" , I got a message of "bus error"
    c. after awhile, I a plain English message saying: "init : exec: line 589: /sbin/init" Input/Output Error"
    d. system just hang

    2. Boot with "Knoppix lang=us" cheat code
    a. all display is in plain English
    b. right after the line ">>> Pls do not remove medium until shutdown!! <<<", I got a message in plain English: "init : exec: line 589: /sbin/init" Input/Output Error"
    c. please note that the "Bus error" message was not displayed this time
    d. system just hang

    I would like to confirm that I have previously booted the same system with both Knoppix 5.3.1 DVD and knoppix 6.0.1 successfully.

    eco2qeek and capable hands, please chip in to identifying the problem.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Julian Chan

    good surprise on 6.0.1

    This version runs flawlessly even on my old "IBM-APTIVA 200MHZ MMX"!!
    Something never reached with knoppix 3.4 and even better than 'DamnSmallLinux (knoppix-dsl)'!
    As downside I've to notice that it doesn't seems to require the creation (or recognise a previusly created) swap file in a fat partition, in case of a poor ram equipment, as older knoppix versions done.

    After some hours of working with it, I realize it's something great but still 'beta'.
    The boot_option_prompt at start remains very few seconds, and without being the 'faster of the west' to load keyboard layout at boot, the 'loadkeys' command seems don't work via terminal. The thing most similar to 'kcontrol' look to be 'Configuration Editor' which lack a keyboard layout option.

    I hope via apt-get or dpkg

    Hmm, sounds like 6.1 is coming. But regarding the 6.01CD.

    I really wanted to use 6.01, but after a few weeks of trying to get it to work on a PC that doesn't have a USB boot option in the BIOS I came to realize that 6.01 is really only useful to those who do have that option.

    I had hoped a workaround would be to make a boot CD with the isolinux.cfg modified to boot off the USB drive with the line fromhd=/dev/sda1 but the 6.01CD apparently ignores the command. I guess those boot options were left out of 6.01 and my conclusion at this point is that this means you basically can't use 6.01 very conveniently without a BIOS that boots USB because there's so much missing if you're dependent upon the system that is included on the CD like smbfs tools.

    That being the case, this release is going to frustrate a lot of users who assume this is the same Live-CD based distro they're used to unless there is some kind of advanced warning. If this is going to be the norm going forward then perhaps a bit of a name modification would be helpful like USB-Knoppix. Or the Knoppix Live-USB distro.

    If someone has gotten the USB based system to work on a PC without a USB boot option, I'd like to hear what you did.

    Anyhow, with the news of 6.1 this will perhaps be irrelevant soon.

    I am running off a thumb drive via a boot CD.
    The way to make the boot CD: just delete the KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX file.
    No other changes are needed - it will find the thumb drive.
    This WILL work with a FAT32 thumb drive.
    It will NOT work with an ext* fs on the thumb drive!
    If you use testcd, you will get a file missing error.

    I think you can also copy the whole CD (not the .iso) onto your hard drive.
    The same boot CD will use the HD copy if no thumb drive is found.
    (I copy it to a blank partition, YMMV, back up first, works on K531)

    If you are using K3B to make a boot CD you have to set the boot correctly:
    Project/Edit Boot Images
    New
    find the file
    boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin
    open, use no emulation.
    click on the isolinux.bin
    Advanced: emulation none, check Boot-info-table, boot load seg 0x0, boot load size 0x4

    One WARNING:
    If I plug another USB drive on the same USB controller as my KNOPPIX thumb drive,
    after booting,
    it OFTEN crashes Knoppix!

    The light on the Knoppix thumb drive goes out and stays out like it is not plugged in.
    (K511 and K531 have also crashed often when running from a thumb drive)
    The relative positions of the Knoppix USB drive and the newly plugged drive may be important. (You could try plugging Knoppix in a rear USB port and then only plug into front USB ports if you have them - YMMV.)
    - edit-
    Workaround:
    Plug a USB2 hub with its own power before you boot.
    I only plug into the hub after booting and have not had any trouble.
