Danke, Werner.

This article reasonably intelligible in English using Chromium web browser.
Chromium available via Synaptic, but this first needs a reload to update dependencies.

Proprietary ideas for Linux Magazine readers:
(KK may supply links to some these and other useful apps
                                   at Knoppix>Install Components in the 'community version')
Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, NX client

.
Just added Google-Translate to IceWeasel 10 and it works just fine.
As a bonus, Firefox 19 works as well. The only difference between
the Mozillas and Chromium seems to be that for the Mozillas,
you need to click Tools>Translate, whereas Chromium does it
automatically.

If you are following this saga, the article in Werner's post #1
makes an excellent test case.

Hello,
When is the Knoppix 7.1 public version supposed to be released ?
I cannot get my hands on the Cebit version.
The US version of Linux Pro Magazine is different and does not include Knoppix 7.1
and the EU version of Linux Magazin does not ship to the US.
Best Regards,
Gilles

Did you find a copy of 7.1 to enable you to do this? I have the same problem in the UK. The mag here did not have the version 7.1.

Hi ICPUG,
Yes I bought the Linux Magazin (EU version) via the web and had it shipped to my brother in Switzerland.
Cheers,
Gilles

2 months and still no Knoppix 7.1 community distro... any ETA to share with us ?

Greetings, Gilles.

Klaus K is still struggling with a PCManFM problem in CeBIT 7.1.
If you have a solution for that, it would help get the Community Version out.

As I understand it, a mouse-over of a desktop icon ( in the CeBIT version)
causes an automatic click to open unless a double-click to open option is in force.

Werner or Klaus2008 may be able to explain this more clearly, I don't have
the CeBIT version, myself.

Regards.
