Morphix release

**Alextreme** · 03-20-2003, 02:42 AM

Wow, someone actually tried out all three?! hmm, morphix was made to download less stuff, not more

(but thanks!

)

Working on on-the-fly debianpackage installation. this is getting interesting at least...

TrueCurve over Keramic? Hmmm, i'll have to poll that, they both aren't bad imho, but people seem to dislike keramic. maybe

for mounting disks:
mount /mnt/hda1
i'll take a look at knoppix, seems to auto-mount them at boot. should be easy enough

gcc isn't in the GUI versions of morphix (are there others? not 'officially'), nope. maybe you'll be able to morph-get install gcc soon

http://am.xs4all.nl/gfx and take a look at first-deb-morph.png and second-deb-morph.png
Looks like it's already in there, strange isn't it

How about Persistant Filesystem?

yups, Persistant Home will be included soon, just don't know if it'll be in the next release (got midterms coming up, dammit)

might be able to get this subtitle thing working with mplayer? personally, i like both of them. this 'll be the second pole when the new morphix site goes online

Thrown those emulators on the wishlist, i'll see what i can do for ya

Oh well, great to see ya all still willing to put up with me :P

Cheers,
Alex

PS. the gameiso has the hardwaredetection and xfree86-configs of knoppix 3.2. Sssshhh, our lill' secret (would like to know if there are any strange problems though

I tried the Game version...
This is great !! playing UT2003 out of the box is fantastic ...
Only problem I had with Quake, is that I cannot increase the brightness.

Oh, and the major problem for me was : my sound wasn't working at all...
(just a normal SB Live Value here)
Hope these comments help with building

OK Alex, re the new (MorphixGame-test 3.3) game iso:
I tried bzflag, freecraft, doom legacy and quake 3 arena for multiplayer gaming over an intranet or on the internet and all worked great! BTW, whatever happened to freeciv. Was that any good - sort of like AOE I guess? It looks like it got vaporized before I got a working CD....

I didn't need the nVidia drivers though, so can't help ya there.

However, my problem is that I can play on my PCs with bootable CDROM drives. How do I make a boot disk for most of my other PCs thta don't boot directly from the CDROM?

I see you have on the CD a boot.img file, but its 2.88MB! I can't rawrite that, can I?

Thanx in advance,

Michielioz, had the same problem over here, wondered if it was my setup. Maybe i should stick to the knoppix 3.1 hardware detection for now, let KK work out the bugs first

freeciv? wasn't it included or did it segfault? Should be in there, i'll place a note on the wiki so i'll check next time. To make a floppy, try out the floppy.img on the mirror (tsk, AJG didn't read the faq, tsk tsk tsk :P)

Oh well, a few minor bugs, pretty reasonable seeing as it's actually working now. *patshimselfonhisback*

Just discovered that on the nvidia morphix, the timidity program is actually usable so you can play midi files from a web browser or the command line. I have been trying to get this to work in a lot of versions of knoppix without success, I think the knoppix timidity program is missing some components. So just wanted to say thanks for a nice surprise

No, for KDE no, for Gnome 2.2
BlueCurve for Morphix Heavy. Is posible

**Alextreme** · 03-21-2003, 12:07 AM

wokay, it's on my todo list, i'll check it out

**A. Jorge Garcia** · 03-21-2003, 02:35 PM

OOPs, I must have missed the FAQ, sorry. Also, freeciv is on there, I thought it was omitted in the the dpkglist.

Regards,

no prob, just teasing ya (it's not that clear on the faq after all

)
