I can finally write in NTFS !!!!!!!!
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.
you are correct... I got too excited about finally getting a 2.6x kernel based system running and forgot to double check my post.Quote:

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 [email protected] if you can help me out here.

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

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.Quote:

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 :evil:
What I usually do is find the packages that have to be updated for KDE by dpkg -l | grep 3.1.[345] > kde.txt then open the file in Kwrite and cut everything but the package names. Then in the console window become root with su and add the source for 3.2 that you will use in the sources.list and update the apt database and use apt-cache policy package_name on a few packages that will be upgraded and hopefully they have the same version number because it becomes real easy then because all you have to do is paste the same =version_number on the end of the packages in the file so you end up with a file like this that I make executable and have the -s in the line to simulate the install from the console window, any packages it complains about not being install cut'n'paste on to the end of the file still open in kwrite with a /unstable (that is usually where it is) save the file and run the simulation again when it will complete without warning I go to the console itself and run the script without the -s option to apt-get in the file. But I recently learned that I may be doing it the hard way it appears that with the -t option you can specify the repository url that will be used with apt eg. apt-get -t people.debian.org dist-upgrade I did a simulated run of that earlier today to try and switch to the Debian sources instead of the ones that I am using it will only upgrade the packages that have a larger version (some are still at 3.1.95 in Debian and mine are all 3.2.0) so it appears if you try with 3.1.? installed it should work for you.Quote:

Sometimes it will tell you to do a apt-get -f install or a configure -a to resolve the install and configure the packages that were missed when the errors happened it usually best after you get done to remove some small package and it's configuration files with the --purge option and reinstall just to make sure you have no unconfigured packages leftover.
The onboard soundcard AD1985 on asus p4p800 is working, couldn"t
test on kernel 2.6 because cannot run nvidia mx440 (new drivers from nvidia for 2.6 kernel came out recently probably to late for this version) and
what to do with radeon 9600 and comparising series?
Okay, I'm using the other torrent file that was posted on page 2 (I think). But of course, my college has everything bottlenecked, and I've spent the last 40 minutes on a T1 connection and have gotten 0.03mb. Somebody please, help me out here!

Your in for a LOOOOONG time. It took me about 20 hrs. to get 50%, then dl speeds became so crappy, i quit. Now i set the link up on eDonkey and am hoping that I can get it faster. Tough luck for us, I see.....
I have downloaded a copy but the tracker that I was seeding on died. I don't have the best upload speed (40kB/s) but tell me which tracker to add myself to and it will be there tomorrow :)
I would be delighted to find a torrent site that works. The one I was using died yesterday with an error 13, after I had about 24 hrs to download 500MB or so.
This one seems to be working:Quote:

Expect- some modification to the desktop UI's, distributed computing clients seti@home and folding@home, karamba, opera (with plugins), firebird, mplayer, nforce2 drivers (and possibly a few other NIC drivers that are not standard for knoppix), fluxbox (not included on cebit edition), english default keyboard layout and language, working knx-hdinstall and knoppix-installer.
As I mentioend above, I'll try to implement KDE 3.2 also, though that may come as an update release sometime next week.
Just stick with the torrent. Leachers at the bottom of the list get lower download speeds, as you move up the list it gets faster. When I started the torrent client was saying it was going to take 78 hours to finish. I left it up overnight and it was finished the next morning. And PLEASE be courtious and leave your client up to seed others (At least untill you have given it to 2 others) i.e. pay it back. I am still seeding at:Quote:

And anyone else that is having problems with the torrent, when the upload is complete, email me, and I'll send you the link to the file. I have, of course, limited bandwidth with my host provider.

You got mail LHM ;)
I FINALLY got c't edition. Yay, it's so coooool.But in Kernel 2.6, I can't get my e-net card to work. Is there a way how?
this part i get, these are cut and dry prerequisites you need to perform before (and to) install knoppix with the 2.6 kernel to your HD.Quote:
Code:wget http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/insta...lates-0.39.tgz
cp /usr/sbin/knoppix-installer .
sudo ./knoppix-installer
This is where things get a bit hazy for me. I'll be installing Knopping to partition /mnt/hda3 on my machine....Quote:
At first I could not figure out how you get it to boot 2.6 from a HD install though I just kept getting a kernel panic no init found no matter what init= I passed so I had to boot with the CD and edit lilo to show a prompt to boot the old .kernel. Then I changed to the /boot directory and ran mkinitrd -o linux-2.6.1.gz to make a new initrd then changed the initrd= line in the /etc/lilo.conf [to initrd=/boot/linux-2.6.1.gz and ran /sbin/lilo -v to write lilo and rebooted and Voila! kernel 2.6 on a HD install.
so assuming my installing goes typically the files will be in /dev/hda3 but i won't be able to boot into it. then I must...
boot from the CD ... when you say " edit lilo to show a prompt to boot the old .kernel" are you talking about editing lilo.conf on /mnt/hda3? this is where I get confused. Can you explain this n more detail?
I'm assuming as well you went to the boot directory in the /mnt/hda3 (as opposed to the boot directory from the live cd) to run the command to make the image.
editing lilo.conf and /etc/fstab are cake after that, it's the intermediate steps I'm a bit unclear on. any help would be appreciated.Quote:
Edit: And I had to add:
To the /etc/fstab as well to get the /sys mount needed for kernel 2.6 the directory /sys already existed so I did no have to create it.Code:## Needed for kernel 2.6
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
In other words, do the install...then boot up under the cd and sudo kwrite /mnt/hda3/etc/lilo.conf and add a new boot option in lilo (you can label it Linux24 or something) and set it so that image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.23-xfs and initrd=/boot/initrd.gz. Of course you'll have to run /mnt/hda3/sbin/lilo -v to save the changes. Then reboot and choose the Linux24 and follow the rest of Stephen's directions for making the new initrd and all. It worked well for me.Quote:

Next.Code:# message=/boot/bootmess.txt

# delay=100
timeout=100
Then reboot and at the lilo screen choose the LinuxOLD option once booted make the new initrd.Code:sudo chroot /mnt/hda3/ /sbin/lilo -v
Edit lilo again to make the change for it and run /sbin/lilo -v to write to disk and you can now reboot to the new 2.6.1 what the section should look like after editing.Code:cd /boot

mkinitrd -o linux-2.6.1.gz

IS there any way to use Tulip.o in Knoppix Kernel 2.6? My ethernet card depends on Tulip.o to function. Can I just insmod the Tulip.o from my kernel 2.4 folder?
[quote="Stephen"]Stephen, would you mind schooling me a little here? Is this all that I had to do? I went through and actually created a new entry in lilo for the old kernel. It worked, but it was more work than this. I'm just curious how this works is all. :DCode:# message=/boot/bootmess.txt
prompt
# single-key
# delay=100
timeout=100
Sorry. I get terminally confused with this. I managed to test both kernels on the live cd and they're fine. I got the knoppix-installer.tgz file and can't get past that step in order to install with the 2.6 kernel. It'd be nice to do a step by step FAQ for those of us who are not as technically inclined.
Cheers!
Hi all, i've a question. I'm with knoppix 3.4 c't and the current kernel isI had seen that this version had the new 2.6 kernel. Have i type some command to enable 2.6 kernel??Code:Linux Knoppix 2.4.23-xfs #1 SMP Mi Dez 10 22:25:03 CET 2003 i686 GNU/Linux
What's mean C't??
Thanks!!!
Sorry i've seem the command :P But now i havent scroll in my mouse hehe, it's normal??
Now if i want to do a hd-install, the kernel installed could be 2.6?? Still i dont know what's mean C't :P
Thx
knoppix26 xxxxx where xxxx is the parameters you feed the kernel. Like my 2.6 kernel line is:
knoppix26 lang=us alsa
ask and ye shall recieve! see if this helps you out:Quote:

Unlike 3.3, 3.4 does not recognize the PC card interface in my IBM Thinkpad 570E.
