Knoppix 3.4 with 2.6 kernel available in two weeks?

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.

I couldn't start a topic so I will write it as a reply.

So the point is: on 20-24 apr 2004 there will be CERF (Computers AND electronics Romanian Fair) where "la creme de la creme" will be. I was wondering if Knoppix Staff would want to be there. I would like to see KNOPPIX there. :wink: (and so would many of my friends).

I work at Romania Data Systems (internet provider - the biggest in Romania, voip provider, cable operator - also the biggest in Romania). Maybe if you can't come you would be interested in a collaboration with us... (I haven't discussed it with the marketing department nor with the management but I will as soon as I hear a positive answer from you... or I can put you in contact with them so you can discuss every detail.)

Just for your information (and other suspicios person's info) I am not looking to earn something from this, just to see knoppix here and to let more people know what it is capable of. :!:

CU Here.

However I'll keep using knoppix from CD from time to time as it's the best way I know of for keeping a watchful eye on linux's development and for monitoring how close it 's got to being finished enough that an ordinary end user could regard it as a viable alternative to other OSes. The sooner, the better, in my view, but it's clearly going to be worth the wait eventually! :lol:

When there's a linux with a working HD install for desktop and home server versions, then I'll trial it on the domestic hardware of the day again, and if it works, then it stays. I say that with any OS. I'd not be very surprised if that installer involved a knoppix cd or a close relative! :wink:

Dude, I don't understand you. When Linux is usable?!? Ever hear of RedHat, Mandrake, Suse, Slackware, Gentoo, Debian? All are quite usable on both desktop or server. I've been using them since 98. I've used all but Gentoo at one time or another. It's even easy to switch. Just keep your personal files on a separate /home partition. Knoppix is actually quite usable in its current state. I've had no problems. Jump in man, the water is fine. If you need help, search for a Linux User Group in your area.
*shakes head*

Although you quoted my message, I'm not certain it's my message you're replying to. Wrong quote button or something perhaps? :?

No, he meant you ;-).

He just interpreted your message :-).

Well, while you are at installing XP, leave some free space for linux. It'll make the install of any distribution easier ... :-)

Its best to do dual-boot first and then you can switch step-by-step to linux ... :-)

I did it also that way ...

... and I never did never regret it ... :-)

So is there a date we can expect 3.4 to be out at the regular news stands.

I had to get the mother board replaced on my old PC and now none of the Knoppix releaes see my eithernet card. They see everything else though. Lindows sees the ether card and runs ok. I hope Knoppix with K2.6 detects my ether card because I want to put it back on my harddrives. Currently I am stuck with WinXP and Lindows with this new Hardware and I would like to have Knoppix back.

Hi Snow,

The answer is always 2 weeks :?

In the mean time you might look at kanotix.de
The new version is bh4.
There is good support on irc.freenode.net #kanotix
This in not pure KNOPPIX but
he keeps true to KNOPPIX but adds
updates and hard ware detection.
I hope this gets you back to knoppix.

Best Wishes
paradocs

I've installed Mandrake 8.2, then 9.2, for a dual-boot system on three different computers that already had Windows on them, with no trouble at all. And I barely have a clue what I'm doing. The only part that I can see that might be tricky for someone who doesn't know what he's doing is partitioning the hard drive in preparation. Of course, if you don't want two OSs on the computer even that's not a problem. The Mandrake installation program default choices work perfectly well for a beginner. Just pop the first CD in and follow the prompts.

I've installed Win2k on my primary hdd (120GB) and Knoppix 3.3 on my slave hdd (120GB) with Lilo boot option when my pc starts.

Was no trouble at all and works fine. I did this by myself and with barely a clue what I was doing.

Yerp twas that ez.

Thanks paradocs, I am torrenting it now. But I do wish it were Knoppix3.4 instead. And from a regular mirror.

But where this one is concerned. Is there a regular mirror that I can get this from. I have found one ISO but it is a script not a regular downloadable ISO. If you have a url that would take me directly to a dowload mirror it would be great. I will do a google on this distro in the mean time. THanks for any help. :D

Thanks but here again these come across as text files on my PC and I have no clue how to use them.

I would need something that is downloadable as though it were from a regular mirror. I still have almost 30 hours left on the torrent and I am sure that I could do a mirror in a much shorter time.
