Knoppix 7.0 Same procedure as every year!

[Werner P. Schulz]

The Knoppix V7.0DVD is the CeBIT version; you could get it at the CeBIT or you can buy the magazine (especially in Germany) with the DVD in it. KK doesn't offers this CeBIT versions for download and therefore he doesn't publish the md5sum for this versions.

All obscure V7 of Knoppix for download aren't authorized by KK.

Thanks for your reply, I guessed as much that was the case in order to give some sort of exclusivity to the said magazine? (or possibly allow time for more polishing before general release maybe ?)
It is unfortunate then that the MD5 and SHA1 are not published until the official general release occurs, it might help in diminishing potential malware flourishing if the MD5 and SHA1 checksums were published even if the actual images were not until later.

Thanks for your concern.
I agree it is prudent to 'pass up' this possibility.
By my count, we may have something 'official' on the mirrors in about three weeks.
