    A 2.6 kernel version of Knoppix

    Hi all.

    One thing that I'm sure would be mega-popular would be to have a version of Knoppix which uses the 2.6 kernel. With 2.6 rapidly becoming stable, a Knoppix distro with it would _rock_ !
    Maybe Klaus has some comments on when (or if) a 2.6 version may be appearing .... Anyway, just my 2c worth

    Klaus always uses the latest stable kernel released so when 2.6 becomes stable you will see it.

    It's avaiable for Kurumin (a Knoppix like distro)

    There are packs

    http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/kur...s.2.0_i386.deb
    http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/kur...s.2.0_i386.deb

    and instructions on how to install it (portuguese only)

    http://www.guiadohardware.info/linux...in/kernel-2.6/
    http://www.guiadohardware.info/forum...pic.php?t=5523

    This kernel is very speedy. It's for Kurumin Linux but I think that it works in Knoppix too.

    thanks for the information. What I am interested to know is how to build cloop for 2.6 kernel, are there any patches needed or just a recompile using the 2.6 source tree ? This is the main concern I have about 2.6

    --Klaus had to rebuild cloop for **2.4.22** - I doubt you'll be seeing a 2.6-based Knoppix beta any time soon.

    --See my thread for some details.

    Thanks for your replies, everyone!

    Hi again!

    I'd just like to thank everyone for their replies. Very helpful and interesting!

    ( ... and I'm sure than whenever a 2.6 version of Knoppix comes out, it'll be a *beauty* ! )

    Thanks again, bye for now -

    This is a script by Carlos E. Morimoto that automates the installation of the new kernel in Kurumin Linux:

    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    
    clear
    
    echo " "
    echo "Este script vai ajuda-lo na instalação do Kernel 2.6 testing"
    echo "do Kurumin. "
    echo " "
    echo "A instalação do novo Kernel não alterará o antigo, você passará"
    echo "a poder escolher entre os dois durante o boot."
    echo " "
    echo "Leia mais sobre as novidades e sobre o processo de instalação"
    echo "no artigo que abrirei a seguir"
    echo "(Enter para continuar)"
    read pausa
    
    phoenix http://www.guiadohardware.info/linux...in/kernel-2.6/
    
    clear
    
    echo " "
    echo "Deseja continuar com a instalação? (s/n)"
    echo " "
    read resposta
    
    
    if [ "$resposta" = "s" ]; then
    
    
    cd /packages
    wget -c http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/kur...s.2.0_i386.deb
    wget -c http://www.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/kur...s.2.0_i386.deb
    
    apt-get install module-init-tools
    apt-get install initrd-tools
    
    dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.0-test4_Prometeus.2.0_i386.deb
    
    clear
    
    
    echo " "
    echo "Em qual partição o Kurumin está instalado?"
    echo "Ex: /dev/hda1"
    read partroot
    
    echo " " >> /etc/lilo.conf
    echo "image=/vmlinuz" >> /etc/lilo.conf
    echo " label=Kurumin-2.6" >> /etc/lilo.conf
    echo " root=$partroot" >> /etc/lilo.conf
    echo " read-only" >> /etc/lilo.conf
    echo " initrd=/initrd.img" >> /etc/lilo.conf
    echo " " >> /etc/lilo.conf
    
    clear
    
    echo " "
    echo "Você deve agora editar o arquivo /etc/lilo.conf como descrito no artigo"
    echo "que abri, verificando a nova seção que dá a opção de inicializar o novo "
    echo "Kernel que adicionei no final do arquivo e substituindo a linha *vga=791*"
    echo "ou *vga=788* por *vga=normal* para desativar o frame-buffer, que ainda"
    echo "não é suportado pelo Kernel instalado."
    echo " "
    echo "Lembre-se que caso você tenha configurado o X para usar o driver *fbdev*"
    echo "ou caso tenha instalado os drivers de vídeo da nvidia você precisará "
    echo "alterar também o driver de vídeo, caso contrário o modo gráfico não"
    echo "funcionará ao dar boot usando o novo Kernel"
    echo "Caso você esteja usando o driver da nvidia, mude o driver para *nv* e"
    echo "caso esteja usando o xfdev, experimente o driver *vesa*"
    echo " "
    
    kedit /etc/lilo.conf &
    phoenix http://www.guiadohardware.info/linux...in/kernel-2.6/
    
    lilo
    sleep 5
    
    kxconfig
    
    
    
    fi

    Ps. I changed myself kernel-image-2.6.0-test4_Prometeus.1.0_i386.deb ---> kernel-image-2.6.0-test4_Prometeus.2.0_i386.deb

    The result: : )
