Salve!
The newschannel of the German IT-Magazin C't reported today that Knoppix 3.2
is published at the world biggest ICT-fair CeBIT in Hannover:
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/odi-07.03.03-000/
Knoppix 3.2 has now KDE 3.1 and "persistant home" - a way to save
the configuration also on hd and USB-Memory-Sticks. :lol:
Cheers,
rob
PS: There isn't 3.2 on the ftp-mirrors yet
:D YEA!!! :D
I can't wait to try it out!
...i also can't wait to see the changelog. i hope it's not like the last one
" Lots of updates and bugfixes"
details people details! :wink:
sorry...i know this is dumb, but still new :) - what do you mean by "persistent home"
thx!
No this isn't dumb - I was looking to find a description or try toQuote:

That as always been my understanding of persitant home, save the home
directory in those physical place. So actually you keep your
file/settings for all the thinks the user knoppix is doing there.

People of this forum though already to use a sever somewhere in the
internet instead of an USB stick :D
Konfiguration/Installing was yesterday
Using/Working is Knoppix
:lol: rob
Salve,
here is the ultimative persitent home thread:

people are keeping me busy with emails, and I have to travel a lot
during the next weeks, there will be not much chance of a new release before the official 3.2, though."
And the new 3.2 wallpapers:

When will it get on the mirrors?
I wonder if edaz's SuSE frame style boot loader graphics are included?
[edit] I see.. cool, they are cool wallpapers!! [/edit]Quote:

Visit the CeBIT 12.03-19.03.2003 if you can't wait to get 3.2
"ISO-Images will be available after CeBit on the official mirrors, shortly after CeBit." This means still 11 days to wait ....

But I don't know were he got the news from.
Yes, without the cool wallpapers were Knoppix not so funny. IMHO it doesn't matter that someone use it for advertising his grafic work. (but on 3.1 the advertisment was smaller!)Quote:

Thanks for moving my posting, I tried to post into NEWS, but it makes sence that only the administrators have right to do this.
BTW thank you for your forum! The wiki is the best! I hope with the help of your forum/wiki we will have two good howtos soon:
one for beginners and one for advances users.
Have a nice WE

(if it is legal)

Salve Phredd!
>(if it is legal)

>Can somebody from the show (that gets a K3.2 disc) ISO it up and put >it out there for download? Man...11 days...thats forever.
I was a little bit to fast, Klaus will presentate 3.2 in 4 days
(CeBIT will start next week)
But isn't fun to wait for good things? I be shure that you can get
it before 11 days :lol:
rob
Maybe someona can put a screenshots of knoppix 3.2?? I we can`t downlaod it then maybe we can look on screens?
Knoppix is goind to be the killer app!
KDE 3.1, Evolution, openoffice and resident home! What else would you want?
Oh yes, Gnome 2.2? But may be it is already in!
I would like to see:Quote:

- Broadcasting Knoppix via shortwave worldwide (www.drm.org)(would take about 5 days 8 hours) about twice a year.
:lol: The Knoppix fun / hype is just beginning :lol:
rob
Will it?
Would you please add generic thumb drive driver module to 3.2? Please, please?
This is really cool.
I am somewhat non-plussed that news of 3.2's release comes without it posted to mirrors. I know its Klaus's choice but still it would have been nicer... I am so looking forward to seeing this release.
All the best, Dan
So what about the screen - shot .?
I wait .. but .. still hard.. but the pleasure growing up with time so ..
WAITING for news and the iso !!
Great job ..
Is enlightenment also included on the disc ?
Even if AOL put Knoppix on a CD, they still wouldn't support Linux clients on AOL! You still wouldn't be able to connect to AOL with the Linux disc.
Although, you'd think by now with the succes of Mozilla that they'd build in some kind of Linux/ alt OS support. As much as people dog it, the extra content [streaming music, secured kids areas, services] they provide is worth the little extra dime. If only they'd get their heads out [of their B()##] and sell internet connection rather than some cable/network/telcom wannabe!
Well, maybe this is better - Which Linuxer would like to use AOL?Quote:

which can use Knoppix. :lol:

PS: The Cebit will open in 8 hours, I'm anxious to know when the first
people will anouced that they have a 3.2 iso publiced on their server.
In 20, 44 hours?
I'll hopefully be downloading it this time tomorrow and running it an hour later. :D

till 20.03.2003. (Beginning of spirng)- I just tried to motivate
visitors of the CeBIT to place Knoppix on their mirrors.
But when someone with a small conection anounced that he has
publiced it and > 100 people try a download at same time....
Also I will not hope that some "funny" people will rename 3.1 to 3.2
The best way is to relax and wait for spring :D
Inbetween we can make the documentation of the Persistent Home
better: http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.ph...stentHomeHowTo
Any corrections, additions to made?
Does Persitent Home support Sonys Memory-sticks?
I promise you, when Hannover would be a little bit more close to
Aachen, I would traval to CeBIT only for getting 3.2 shaking Klaus
hands, getting an autogramm of him on my 3.2, took the next train
back to server you 3.2.
Greetings

Do I understand this right ??Quote:

I guess it would be greatly appreciated if you can get people who cannot visit Klaus himself a copy..
I know 3.2 is going to be out there soon and all the mirrors will be jammed up. Can I suggest of using BitTorrent for releasing ... or even early releases (before the mirrors). I think BitTorrent will eliminate any bandwidth issue for an early release.

Can't wait to see 3.2!!!
just my 2 cents...

Hi there
(my 1st post here).
I think that if Klauss want's to introduce 3.2 exclusiveley at CeBIT , then we shouldn't upload the iso online (especially on this official forum). yes, eventhough it's GPL (community values beyond the EULA anyone? ;) )
it's only few days, let him finish with CeBIT, i'm sure he wants the new version published asap. besides, it couls be CeBIT branded (in walpapers, etc)... hmmm.. collector's item??? lol.
cheers,
looking forward for 3.2 as well ;)
avih
hey it now morning :) where is 3.2??
Is that procedure in the terms of the GPL?Quote:

No 3.2 yet...
Let the teasing continue another day :roll:
The knoppix mirror ftp site:
http://mirror.usu.edu/mirrors/knoppi...=ACCEPT+%3E%3E
gives:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /mirrors/knoppix/ on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updating with 3.2 maybe??!?!
What i ment was:Quote:

4. this edition might not be gpl. do YOU know it's gpl?
the leagal terms just make up the framework. respect and humal values should come before that imho. isn't that the whole point of the open source movement?
just my 2c though.
cheers

1. Sure, itīs his creation, partially.Quote:

2. Why should it be "cebit branded"? Whatīs the big difference between Version 3.1 and 3.2? Sure, he got KDE 3.1 inserted but it was also in KnoppixKDE. And persistant home is useless if you got only NTFS-Partitions.
3. I donīt know if itīs under the GPL.
I think the point is that software should be free too everyone at every time. No one should get software earlier because of a trade fair.
If itīs a preview or beta version than i can understand that you donīt release it. But holding back a stable version is IMHO not the way open-source should work.
Salve!
When is the official END of CeBit?
Klauss can post it any time he wants AFAIC. It's his creation an he has the right to time it's introduction into this world. Maybe he's timing will result in more publicity and demand for his creation/product and maybe some revenue stream to help support him and his software development efforts.
OTOH I sure wish he'd hurry up and post it to a mirror server yesterday :D
I've checked several mirrors and they all are still frozen @ v3.1 :(
CeBit is over on the 19th...
I wish we could at least see the changelog.txt file for 3.2
Unless I missed it and it is posted somewhere?
Anyone know?
Yep... I agree ... change logs would be nice...
then a least I can see if Kismet has been updated or not on the new version.
Thanks
heh :( I want knoppix 3.2 :( where is it? how long i must want :(:( Klaus go go go!!
If it doesn't have the updated PH, you won't be able to write to the HD without a lot of hassle. Maybe as root but not user knoppix.
