Is Knoppix V7.6 almost ready?

[utu]

Anyone know whish file on the DVD contains the default cheat codes

Greetings, Jeffery.
The cheatcodes in the non-Adriane EN version of Knoppix 7.6.0 LiveDVD are contained at /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-cheatcodes/txt.
Text says v7.5, I know.
Also, you can always use locate to find a file of a mounted system. May need to sudo updatedb first.

Hello Jeffery,

Prof. Knopper didn't changed anything within his script 0wn; the version of it is from 30. Mai 2012. I've done a HD install within a 32 GB partition and got 11 GB used. Therefore 13 GB may not be enough for all of your personal data.

As long as I'm doing a micro remaster to make Adriane the default boot option, would it be safe to remove knoppix1 from the DVD before rebuilding the iso if I have no need for FreeCAD or Blender?

Hello, Jeffery.
I think you could omit KNOPPIX1, but that will only free-up 350-or-so Megabytes.

that will only free-up 350-or-so Megabytes.

To clarify ...
Actually, KNOPPIX1 only takes up 113 Mb on /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX1 of the boot medium storage.
If you were to have FreeCAD and Blender in ram at the same time, that might use 350 Mb of ram.

Well, my first attempt at rebuilding the DVD iso to boot in Adriane by default was a bust. Got as far as the "Initializing Boot Sequence"(or whatever the message is) being spoken, but the Adriane menu never loads(or if it does, speech never starts)(Actually, are the spoken startup and shutdown messages exclusive to Adriane mode, or do they play even booting normal knoppix?). I think the problem is that I either didn't alter /boot/isolinux/*cfg correctly(I left the one that has default auto near the top unaltered and changed the ones with default knoppix near the top to default adriane(related question: is there something I can replace default knoppix64 with that will both boot in Adriane mode and with a 64-bit kernel?)) or the removal of knoppix1 broke something. Might take a look at /boot/isolinux/*.cfg on my Adriane 7.4.2 DVD to see if I altered the default auto line there. but seriously, is there a less convoluted way of making small alterations to an iso image from the terminal than: sudo mount -o loop the image cp the contents to a folder on a writable filesystem chmod the files to be altered to restore write permissions Edit the files rebuild the image with genisoimage

Hello, Jeffery.

There are two isos you might have used, one is for adriane as default, and one is not.
Both have spoken introduction and shut-down messages.
The non-adriane version will start-up in adriane if you use input 'knoppix adriane' at the boot prompt;
you don't need to edit th cfg file to get into adriane mode.

It's going to be a long hard slog for you making a CD version out of the DVD.
Somewhere along the line you may delete some code needed by one of the programs you want to keep.
It might help for you to petition Klaus K personally to see when you might expect a bona fide Knoppix 7.6 LiveCD.

Hello Jeffery!

At the end of

you'll find
<cite>
Boot options like "adriane" can easily be preset by changing syslinux.cfg after having copied the CD to a bootable memorystick using "flash-knoppix": Update: Computers without DVD driveChange the upper line
DEFAULT auto
to:
DEFAULT adriane
for automatically starting ADRIANE on boot. This is already default in all ADRIANE iso files.
</cite>

Why do you use this painful way to rebuild the image with genisoimage instead of doing a Flash install. Within the link i've mentioned above you can also see at the position
→ Update: Computers without DVD drive
how to do the Flash install using tje command line.

I don't know if either of my computers have their Bios configured to allow booting from the SD slot(incase of my Laptop) or a SD card in a USB adapter(in case of my Desktop), but if the new Flash-Knoppix is available from the repositories, I might try testing my most recent rebuild of the iso via that method. Basically, what I've been doing so far has been me trying to repeat my success at making a 7.4.2 DVD that boots in Adriane by default having no idea that the needed knowledge to make the change had been put in the release notes or that tools had been release that could allow some to skip the hassle of rebuilding the iso(still, I know a CD/DVD works as a boot medium on both my computers, I don't know if an SD card will work for either).

Hi, Jeffery.

If you tell us the make and model of your computer(s) we can probably find out
if they have usb or SD card capability. Windows 7 laptops, for example, have both capabilities.
For these, one needs to re-arrange the order of media selected for boot to favor usb or
SD over CD or HDD.
