Hi Knoppixer
Hi Knoppixinnen
I am frustrated. I can't find anyone arround my area
with a DVD burner yet! I have the .iso and will have
to drive to a city to get a disk made.
If I buy a DVD burner will it make data disks
as easily as a CD burner? What program will work?
All I can do now is dream of going to Linux Tag.
Here is a link to KNOPPIX at LinuxTag.

Hmm.
Doing "dpkg -l *dvd* |less" in Knoppix I get the following.
ii dvd+rw-tools 5.5.4.3.4-2 DVD+RW/+R tools
un dvdplusrw <none> (no description available)
ii dvdrecord 0.1.4-1 A tool for writing DVD's and CD's
I have no idea if the syntax for these tools are like cdrecord (since I don't have a dvd burner either). You can look in the man pages for these tools or google for info on the web.
paradocs-
mount -o loop dvd.iso /tmp/dvdiso
...
cp -R /tmp/dvdiso/KNOPPIX / (root of any partition)
...
dd if=/tmp/dvdiso/KNOPPIX/boot.img of=/dev/fd0
boot with the floppy and it should find the DVD files ... all without burning the DVD. Works well with CD images as well.
-SUO, no DVD burner here either
Hello all,
Thanks for the good information.
Hopefully I will catch up before KNOPPIX
comes out on a "blue laser disk",
27 or even 54 gigs per side. :D
Best Wishes

--I really think the blue-laser discs should be protected at all times somehow, like in a cartridge. The more dense the bits get, the bigger chance of an error if the media gets scratched.

I pulled the new DVD ISO and was able to complete knx-hdinstall. A few more "ups" and, surprisingly, some new "downs:"
The KNOPPIX boot process detects all of my hard drives now ... up to /dev/hdh
However, no USB devices were detected and activated. Since I only have a USB mouse, this is very debilitating. Was the default USB detection removed (or must be explicitly specified now)?
As I mentioned, I was able to complete knx-hdinstall. The main copying progressbar is still based on 2100MB of files, so the progress approaches 200% before it is done. I also kept getting APIC errors from my two CPUs during the install.
Unfortunately, the lack of USB carried over to the HD install. So, I've got some tweaking to do.

just buy a DVD-RW from big-player @ localstore, after 15-30days return it for FULL refund :lol:
--Note, the DVD beta test is now over. Keep that last iso around guys, one day it may be a collector's item. :lol:
Hi,
I certainly want to buy the Knoppix-DVD. However, I could not find any reference or information on how to buy. Three other persons expressed their serious interest to buy the Knoppix DVD (not simply copying) to support the project as well! When and where will it be avaialble?????
Please keep me updated!
Sunny Regards,
