Kurumin 1.1 going out :-)

Carlos, it's great to see you've added the Lucent drivers, there are how many thousands of machines out there using them.

I've shown some people Knoppix & Knoppix Lite and they're impressed till they find out they can't use the net because they have a Winmodem

Doing a remaster of anything is hard when you can't use apt-get because you're modem is'nt supported.

I'm downloading Kurumin now, only 16-17 hours, not bad huh?

Thanx,
roadie

The version on the site is still the 1.0, i'm uploading the 1.1 to mirrors, will take some says.

Hi Carlos

Let us know the moment its uploaded. It looks real cool and I must see you winmodem mods..

All the best, Dan

I tried to change the lang in kurumin ver 1.0 and did not get good results, some menus still in brazilian language, can you do a better work on this? Or even better, an option to change the whole system to english language? I think this way the whole world would be able to run kurumin

The parts that still im Portuguse are just the system menu, boot messages and the hd-install?

The applications are ok?

Yes it's only a few menu entries that aren't in English. I run Kpersonalizer, configure KDE keyboard tool, goto init 3, then go to init 5 to restart X and KDE.

Carlos, the Flash install is really cool. I didn't really look under the hood. Do you use swf-player or Macromedia's stuff?

It would be great if someone could lend Carlos a hand to change the few Portuguese menu entries for English fans. I wish I knew Portuguese.

Carlos, any plans to upgrade to KDE 3.1?

The Flash installer is a very simple script :-) Can be adapted to other distributions. He download and installs the plug-in on the folder /ramdisk/home/knoppix/plugins.

The folder /usr/local/phoenix/plugins is a sinlink targeting that folder. I think is a good way to install things running fron CD.

Hi Carlos,

Where can we download the 1.1 iso of Kurumin? I am really looking forward to seeing it.

All the best, Dan :P

Happy download :-)

Carlos,

Could you please summarize what's different in the 1.1 release from 1.0?

Thanks.
