To save you the time here's the pertinent message:
The first public version of KNOPPIX 3.4 will be announced and
distributed (if everything goes well) at CeBit 2004
(
http://www.cebit.de/), and also be available for download shortly
afterwards.
The private edition in a german computer magazine is independent
thereof.
I'm still doing an update of the current 3.3 version, but have been
waiting for the XFS patch for Kernel 2.4.24 for quite a while without
success (it's still not there on
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/patches/2.4.24, anybody happens to know
why it is delayed?). Now KDE 3.1.5 is slowly entering Debian/unstable,
and I will probably include it in the 3.3 update as well, so please
allow me some more time for the update.
As for features of the new 3.3 and new 3.4 releases, check out aay's post of about two weeks ago (Klaus says nothing has changed).
HTH
In the kernel source I've gotten from http://kernel.org for both 2.4.25 and 2.6, the XFS support is already there (without applying any patch). I'm not sure when this changed but it is nice being able to build this into the kernel since I use XFS now exclusively. The 2.6 changelogs show coders at SGI (and Intel, IBM, HP, etc.) are major contributors to kernel development.

The inevitable question - has anyone played around with this live CD? The author has helpfully put up a page listing the diffenrence between his live CD and Knoppix. Basically Berry is based on Red Hat (Fedora?) while Knoppix is of course based on Debian. The really interesting thing is IMO the new kernel :))
-
Just tried Berry v0.36 and it wouldn't boot on a dual overclocked celeron( BP6 ) running at 500MHz. It booted to a VERY limited shell with the previous error message saying it couldn't mount/find the CDROM.
oh well. Next....

Knoppix 3.4 is great
I'm just writing this with the Knoppix 3.4 c't edition (subscribers get the c't today). It booted with no problems on my Dell PC.
uname -a
Linux Knoppix 2.6.1 #1 SMP Thu Jan 15 15:10:43 CET 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
The KDE version it uses is 3.1.4 by the way.

hey, wanna set up a ftp-server?
I can't wait till monday, I will go get the latest issue of the c't-magazine first thing in the morning! BTW, according to http://heise.de/ct/ftp/projekte/knoppix/ (in german) knoppix 3.4 c't-edition also includes gnome 2.4, captive and a "live-installer" (sounds like klik:// to me)..

AFAIK, the gentoo folks also have something in the works for cloop on linux 2.6. http://dev.gentoo.org/~lu_zero/gcloop/ is what I (well, google actually found so far.

Flubba, you lucky dog you. So, have you noticed anything different? Because of the I/O bound loading of apps/etc, performance boosts will probably only be seen in things loaded and not swapping out. Some of the current tests of 2.4 vs 2.6 show some darn good improvements on performance though the pre-emptive stuff should "feel" different too.
When somebody gonna post the ISO somewhere?

Linux 2.6.x changelogs
I'm thinking of waiting for Knoppix 3.5 due to the huge Linux kernel changelogs like http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v...eLog-2.6.3-rc1
If Knoppix 3.4 has the 2.6.1 kernel, I'll wait for a more stable kernel with a shorter changelog, before I install it to harddisk.
Anyway, I can't wait to boot Knoppix 3.4 from CD
-
Hey guys, since nobody objected when some asked for the iso, i am going to seed it (bittorrent), please remove Post if it is not wanted here. I am using an open tracker I found today, so be patient
Warning - I did not find any Statements that this Data should not be posted to Internet, but please check for yourself. I checked the files that i ripped off the CD with the md5sums on the disk, so it should work fine.
