I'm just checking in to find out if I can access the internet with my Abit NF7-S rev2.0 nForce2 mainboard's onboard NIC using the latest Knoppix CD yet.
No sense in DL a 700Mb iso for nothing.

You may want to check this thread on the Overclockix remaster it appears to support the nic.Quote:

I was hoping the Knoppix Live CD Linux auto detected everything like it does on my other computers. The nForce2 chipset mobos are quite numerous and popular now. The auto detect support should be there by now.
What's the main differances between ClusterKnoppix and the regular Knoppix CD?
BTW I downloaded Arkaine23's Overclockix remaster tonight. I'll try it out later this week since I FAH 24/7 too. We both frequent the forums at http://forum.oc-forums.com/
Clusterknoppix just has a kernel that is patched to allow clustering via openmosix. The openmosix feature makes the kernel slightly larger so a few programs had to be taken out (I don't even notice which ones though). Other than that and the nvidia drivers i don't know if there is that big of a difference at all.

This is the newest version of Arkane23's Overclockix
http://overclockix.octeams.com/Overclockix_Eidolon.iso
Don't try to DL until it's finished uploading in about 2.75 hrs from the time of this post.
Actually, I'm working on some more goodies right now since I found some spare time. There will be an even newer iso sometime around noon tomorrow- lots of updates to the normal software, openoffice 1.1, mplayer, and firebird. I'll just have to see how the iso size works out once all these things are installed......
Then I'll wait until tomorrow afternoon. Please post if your schedule changes.
Is there any time listed yet for when the nForce 2's nics will be supported in Knoppix?
They will not be unless Nvidia changes their terms of license.Quote:

nVidia also gave the guy who wrote the Omega drivers a ration of crap so he won't write any more nVidida tweaked drivers.
I think I'll buy something other than nVidia next time.
I've already returned my new card for this very reason were not good enough for them, then my money's not good enough for them either.Quote:

New overclockix is out, but the new applications in it are not available in kde's menu. You have to launch them from a termnial. Seems apt-get upgrade somehow broke things, and I've been unable to update the KDE menu no matter how hard I try. Fluxbox and icewm menus work though, but they refuse to accept my submenu for custom scripts and my alterations aterm and eterm which would make those terms transperant. You can still do my custom scripts and have transperant terms by using a terminal to launch them.
aterm -tr -sh 50 (is a nice transperant term)
ooffice (for openoffice1.1)
gmplayer (for mplayer)
ogle-gui (for ogle)
firebird-mozilla (for firebird)
