Knoppix Tutorial

Hello,

Pieter Jonker was so kind to translate my
german Knoppix Tutorial into english. See

www.eleli.de/knoppix/docs/tutorial/english *

Enjoy it - or even better: improve it! :-)

Bye

Hello,

could somone of the forum moderators be so kind
and move this topic to the forum "News"?

I don't know why but I am not allowed to post
new topics in the forum "News".

Thank you and bye
Karl

schock,

Only mods can begin posts in the News forum, but I will move this post to News. I don't have time right now, but you might want to add this (or a link to this) in the Docs section. The Docs section is a wiki so anyone can add to it. Just click the "edit" button at the bottom of the proper page.

Oh and by the way, nice work!

Hello Aay,

> I will move this post to News.

Thank you very much.

> you might want to add this (or a link to this) in the Docs section

That's a good idea. I added links in FaqUsing, GetSupport and KnoppixLinks.

> Oh and by the way, nice work!

For your pleasure. :-)

I have found a bug in your tutorial :)

In Lesson 2 - Configuring Knoppix, I. Configuring the screen, 2. Use the KDE Control Panel, you say

Quote:

---

Click there with your left mouse button at the tab "Index" first on "Peripherals" and there on "Display". With this you open the "XFree86 Configuratin"-window

---

However I can find nowhere an option to open KXConfig there. You seem to imply that KXConfig will open automatically. That would be really neat, but the only way I have found to run KXConfig is with Alt+F2, I didn't even know that such a useful thing existed.

I'm using Knoppix 3.5 LinuxTag DVD with lang=en, but the same applies to 3.4.

I noticed a repeating spelling error. The word "than" is incorrect and should be "then" in most places.

Other than that it's nice to see somebody making yet a Knoppix tutorial.

No option is necessary.

Yes. A **click on "Display"** opens the KXConfig-Window
automatically as you can see in the image beneath the text.

Indeed, this error occurs more often "then" tolerable ;-)

I found the posts about the word "than" being misused a bit odd.
I didn't find any instances of the words "than" or "then" being used incorrectly. I have to assume that the document has been updated since these previous posts. :?

hello, I have to use a proxy to visit here, and it seems that I could not visit the page 'www.eleli.de/knoppix/docs/tutorial/english', so I wonder if there anyone would offer a mirror of it or move the tutorial to this forum?

thanks :-)
