Wine

I really hope that this version can run my Ms Access 95 & Ms Visual Basic 4.0 using Wine.
Somebody try it yet ?

Is it any faster? 3.2 boots so slowly, I've tried it on several brand new machines with lots of memory and speed, good quality CDROM drives, and it takes like 5-10 minutes to boot completely.

The older version is MUCH faster. (ie: before 3.1)

That is wierd... I think it takes longer than Knoppix 3.1 at my machine, but 5 minutes?

Uhm, are you serious?

I think you could better try Plex86/Bochs or VMWare so yuo can run Windows inside Linux. But YMMV, just try. You need to be sure that Wine is configured propperly. And if you are able to spend some money on it you could try WineX.

I'm running MSAccess 2000 without any problems thanks to Crossover-Office - if you've got the money and need to run the apps, check out www.codeweavers.com

I've never tried Visual Studio with it, but there's a fairly good chance it would work.

Did you get to run VB with WINE yet? I've tried in the past with no luck! If I could do this, I'd be able to leave M$ WINDOZE in the dust for good and all!

You see, I teach:
Quarter 1: QBASIC (I could use yabasic or xbasic for this or even dosemu?)

Quarter 2: VBASIC (with WINE?)

Semester 2: C++ (using GNU GCC g++ now for this)

Year 2: Java (looking at GNU GCC gcj for this)

For Java, you could always use the Sun/Blackdown/IBM JVMs. They're much better than GCJ at the moment.

My Audigy soundcard is detected by Knoppix's autoconfig, but no drivers for this card was found at all... :( Question is... when support for Audigy msx card will be integrated in Knoppix distribution? I found necessary drivers for Audigy/Audigy2 sound cards on Creative web page, but I am a totally "green user"... I can't install, and remaster Knoppix distribution for my Audigy card... I can't do this... I don't know how?

You can try my alsa-Script in the Ideas-Section, see "[ANNOUNCE] alsa ..."

It'll hopefully soon be integrated into Knoppix, then you'll get your audigy to work with: "knoppix alsa"

OK, but aren't JVMs used in place of JREs? I need JDK.

Looking back, this has been a problem with all the English versions of Knoppix 3.2.

http://java.sun.com is where you can download the Sun JDK. It comes with the JVM too.
http://www.blackdown.org is where you can download the Blackdown port of the JDK.

The beauty of Linux is you can install as many JDK/JVM that you want and all you need to do is set the JDK_HOME variable and the PATH variable to point to the correct location and you're set.

I'd ditch gcj for now as the performance I get from Blackdown is good.

Network booting doesn't work ???

Hi,

I tried boot Knoppix 3.2 (both 2003-03-28-EN and then 2003-03-30-EN) and run Linux Terminal server. Then I tried to set up computers here in office which are connected to same hub to set up to boot rom network (I tried different methods) but wasn't working. Don't know why? PXE faq is not so usefull and I don't know how to track/debug it. Does somebody same experiences? Or did it for somebody worked? Can somebody try to summarize step-by-step guide .. Thanks, a lot.

mPlayer .90

I guess the latest stable release of mplayer just came out. It would be cool if it was mastered into the next release of Knoppix :wink:
