Hi!
I can only see "DE" files on the download sites... is this normal? What about "EN"?
Thanks,
Gilles.
Just search other archives. I'm currently downloading:

KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-03-EN.iso
Size: 699.4 MB (733,337,600 bytes)
Transferred: 334.2 MB (350,420,992 bytes)
Found it! Thanks!
Definitely took me time to find a mirror that had the .EN file. :)
Thanks,
Gilles.
The file needs to propagate. I guess not all mirror maintainers have been notified. Or there some propagation scheme in place (2 and 3 read from 1, 4 and 5 read from 2, etc.).
Hi,
are there some test results? I heard from the german forum that ALSA doesn't work.
Ciao Martin
Does Ctrl+Esc bring up "Kill Process xxx"?
I couldn't do that with 9-24-03.
A real pain when Konqueror chokes and I have to do an Alt+Ctlrl+Del.
BTW Does anybody know when Alt+Ctrl+BkSpace became = power off? It used to = shutdown Xwindow.
and what about 2003-10-28 release?Quote:

Did anyone setup for BitTorrent download?
A bittorrent will be available in about 7 hours from now on http://www.boegenielsen.dk/knoppix

I snagged it today, and I have to say the desktop looks quite nice. If only the desktop icons didn't use a colored background by default, I'd give it a 10.
Well there are other ways you know...Quote:

There's always another way to do it in Linux. :)
It always takes 1-2 patches to get the bugs out! That's too much bandwidth [and coasters] for 1 week lately!
Not being mean, just honest.
Is there an uptodate packages.list somewhere? Specifically I'd like to know what versions of OpenSSH and Gaim are now on the CD.
Also does anyone know if the autoconfiguring and automounting of firewire drives has been *fixed*? With 3.2 from about six months, firewire drive partitions appeared on the desktop. With last month's 3.3, I have to start modprobing sbp2, re-scanning the scsi bus, mkdiring /mnt/sdax and then mounting everything. A fair amount of hassle :(
I'm currently running a 3.2 which i apt-get upgraded like hell (I upgraded with many packages of debian "sin" version)... :twisted:
My version is very stable at this time... but i'm allways looking for new features... so I wonder if I should upgrade...
Is there a command to upgrade trough the cd or the iso, or do I have to format my / partition (i set /home in another one 8) )
If it's possible to upgrade, I compiled a lot of apps, services, installed 3D games, ... is it safe to upgrade or do I risk compatibility problems?
last question... if anybody has a hint about mounting .bin .cue files... I'm really stuck with that one...
thanx

Thats why they invented CDRW, with sizes ranging from the 700 meg versions as well as the older 650 meg versions, and for the .99 cents they cost they really are a sound investment :roll:
... but don't waste bandwidth, it's also a limited resource.
Ciao Martin
...and the laptop that I use Knoppix for will not read RW :(
I downloaded KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-03-EN.iso from ftp://ftp.rdg.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp...3-11-03-EN.iso and when i booted up the cd after burning it, it still said version 3.2 on the install screen and on the wallpaper

I don't know if this will work for bin and cue files, but I mount ISOs with the following command:
mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /some/mount/point
(Of course, precede with 'sudo' as needed.)
-SUO
:idea: If your lap top can not read CDRW's do you have a usb port ? You may be able to pick-up an external CD rom "Perhaps even a CDR" that you maybe able to boot from, with either the aid of a Floppy boot disc or configuring your bios to check that drive first if you have such an option on there "Some laptops have a limited number of options in their bios". But you should infact be able to boot with the floppy, although its an added choir of having to keep an extra disk. Hopefully that works for you.
I think the command is dpkg -l .
Can someone say whether knoppix latest versions support audigy2??
ty
seph
Why was there such a dealy in new versions? It was over a month since the last knoppix. :(
Is there another Bit Torrent source for the new release besides : http://www.boegenielsen.dk/knoppix ???
Thanx!
I actually got a faster download from one of the official links (3 hours) instead of the estimated 14 hours using bit torrent.
I downloaded ver 9-24 from an ftp mirror, but the md5 checksum was off, and the download wouldn't work. I was told it was due to starting and stopping the download (dial-up restrictions).Quote:

The amount of time for both downloads were, unfortunately, both the same long period of time, again, dial-up limitations. If there was a real difference, I think in my case Bit Torrent was somewhat faster.
The new release in Bit Torrent was today made available at: http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de:6969
In Knoppix, it's the same thing--the system starts an X window session for the "knoppix" user, and the system shuts down when you terminate it.Quote:
