Is Knoppix V7.6 almost ready?

[MaCon]

I poked around to try and help uncover your Model Number for the awesome folk here to know what you are working with. The support area at http://global-download.acer.com/Supp...?LC=en&BC=Acer shows an example white tag on the bottom of the computer. It has a bar code on that tag that might be read with a Q-cat or equivalent. Thought I would mention it, in case you have a Q-cat or some kind of Scanner you could use to get the Serial Nr. and SSID on here and that ought to lead to the other pertinent data about your computer? IF that S/N and SSID are NOT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE information? Someone else may want to advise on that part. Just a thought from the sidelines here.

Hello Klaus,
I hope you and your family are doing well. Thank you very much for this new version of Knoppix.
Some time ago you provided a HowTo get the 64 bits compile & run time environment for Knoppix 7.0.2
http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/298...l=1#post126922
These steps are no longer working with Knoppix 7.6.0. Could you please suggest something ?
Could you please consider adding the minimal 64 bits run time libraries to your next release ?
So 64 bits binaries (with statically linked libraries or minimal linked libraries) could also be executed
right out of your great dvd. A script to install the 64 bits compile environment would be ideal.
Thank you very much for your time, hard work and persistence.
Best Regards,
Gilles

Hi Klaus,
I just woul like to bring to your attention that the output format of the "ifconfig" program have now changed
which now breaks multiple scripts, knoppix-terminalserver being one of them. Knoppix 7.5.0 was still ok.
cf: https : / / bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=784314
I also have trouble getting the vmware tools to autostart and have the cut & paste working between
the host and the guest vm. It is probablly not related to the above problem. Any idea ?
Best Regards,
Gilles

1--I think you may have better luck getting Klaus K on Debian-Knoppix mailing list.
2--Regarding your query, I also had some of my pet tweaks stop working recently.
It seems that in my case iwlist no longer works as before. However, I found the nmcli does a lot more.
You may see my example at http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/317...ighlight=nmcli
