I can finally write in NTFS !!!!!!!!

I haven't been so lucky. What's the trick?

I'm running 3.4 c't from the CD. When I first ran Captive, it couldn't seem to find the ntoskrnl.exe and ntfs.sys files I copied to my pen drive. It eventually found the files it needed on the ntfs partition, but I still couldn't write to it.

3.4 looks promising! I'll probably like it better once it's weighted more heavily towards KDE and away from Gnome.

You need to unmount the ntfs partitions and remount them as captive-ntfs

- open a console
- run: umount /mnt/yourpartition
- run: mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/yourpartition /mnt/yourpartition

It should work now.

Also, automatic mounting can be achieved my changing the /etc/fstab file so the fstype is always captive-ntfs, not ntfs.

But it'a a German version !!!

all you have to do is add this "cheat code" lang=en

because the default is german keyboard you have type alt 0 for the = symbol. I am running this version there is nothing in german in menu after doing that.

Actually its shift 0 to get the = on the german kb layout.

you are correct... I got too excited about finally getting a 2.6x kernel based system running and forgot to double check my post.

I am having trouble with flash and java plugins for firebird, so I may wind up installing opera again as a secondary browser. Can't get nforce2 nnvet to work for 2.6.1- anyone have some ideas on that one?

Was hoping to apply a transparent kicker patch, but I can't find debs for kdebase-dev and kdelibs-dev for KDE 3.15. I'd go for 3.2, but I think its too unstable just now.

Is there any way I can get someone to upload the iso to my ftp site? Seems my college won't let me connect to any of the p2p servers, and the torrent file just won't work period.
Send an email to lordharshmage@yahoo.com if you can help me out here.

I think you mean kdelibs4-dev and both the packages appear to be in unstable.

Oh and I have been using KDE 3.2 for about a month and do not see many problems at all what troubles are you having with it.

Just worried about breaking things in the process of upgrading. I think I'll do it this way- Spilt my remaster into 3 directories and work on 3.2 in one of them and see how that goes, if that fails, I'll try a second and work on adding a transperant kicker patch, and if that fails, I'll contiune on with 3.15 from where I'm at now.

If I upgrade to 3.2 will it overwrite my kde configurations?

What I'm really worried about is if the iso is used for hdd-installing, will the CVS KDE 3.2 packages wind up breaking down and preventing upgrades through apt-get later on.

Sensible approach the only thing that got overwritten on me were the kdmrc, the wallpaper and I lost the icons for the users that display in the greeter screen.

[arkaine23]

Stephen, can you direct me to a thread where you explain the process? I've seen the sources posted and have been told that some packages you have to forcefully overwrite to get installed. I usually don't have too much trouble with apt-get, but if you have any tips or instructions, I could maximize my time and get the iso out that much sooner.

It would be really great to get the first or one of the first custom Cebit iso's and have a functional KDE 3.2 on it.

Everyone's talking about knoppix 3.4, sure. But anyone who tried downloading even a DAY after the news topic even HAVE it? I DOUBT it. The only BT tracker is slow as hell, Nothing on Kazaa, eDonkey has HUGE Queue and Gnutella only one person has it who is busy atm. Anyone who downloaded the iso even sahring it on ANY of these mediums? I REALLY wan't knoppix 3.4 c't edition WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. I've been trying for 2 days now
