Knoppix 7.6.1

[rbenea]

Will 7.6.1 be available in CD format? Do you know if Knoppix will be made available in CD format?

Did somebody tried to slim down Knoppix via remastering? We did several tests but managed to get only to a size about 3.6 Gb for our project (www.batpro.org).

The problem that we face is that we had requests to install Knoppix on Asus EeePCs that have a 4Gb SSD and there is no room for a small persistent partition.

Why do you want or think you need Knoppix for this? Knoppix contains way too much stuff that you will never use and will take up too much precious space. I suggest that you would be much better off using a Linux distro that was intended for such a purpose, such as Debian (the Linux distro that Knoppix is based on). That way you can install only what you need. You will have a much more stable system that can be updated and added to much more safely.

Thanks Werner. That explains, at lease some. I generally don't follow links that I find in forums, particularly when they go to domains that I don't know.

But is the support for the blind that has been built into Knoppix not available for Debian? If not, does anyone know the license for the code?

I suggest your pm Jeffery Mewtamer to see if he has something you can use.
If that doesn't work, try looking at some of his forum posts and see if you can start a dialog with him.
