It is only a beta? Then I shall wait for the final version.

philo, I don't remember him having released any Beta's openly in the last several years so I imagine this is a final version, or as final as it's going to get. He is always refining his releases.

7.4.1 is a typo above; should be 7.7.1, obviously.

Hi!

I was not able to install VirtualBox 5.1.6 guest additions because there is a misconfiguration in the kernel header files. "make oldconfig && make prepare" did not help.
The only solution seems to be the recompilation of the whole kernel with the old configuration file.

If anyone knows a faster solution I would be glad to hear of it.

VirtualBox discussions belong to General Support, not to News.

Hi @all!
Where do useless kernel header files belong to?

I've used 7.7.0 with zero problems and it works GREAT! Got it about 4 months ago with the magazine (printed edition) and it's worth every dollar you pay, 12 or 13 United States Dollars. I live in USA and delivery took only two days. Highly recommend 7.7.0.

Before anyone starts jumping up and down demanding the public edition should be available for download it is as well to remember that past experience is that the .1 public edition does not usually appear till later, (maybe as late as September). The benefit of the wait is you get some bugs fixed. Klaus Knopper releases when he is ready.

This year's CeBIT release is somewhat larger than usual, stretching to TWO extra KNOPPIX files. This is because it includes several CAD programs. These do NOT appear on public releases of Knoppix.
