Knoppix 3.7 is out ... sort of

[jdmml]

is it really worth it.....

[g4m3cub3]

Hey I tried that torrent of your but it is down... could someone pelase put the torrent back up and e-mail me at [email protected] and/or reply if you make one, FTP, or whatever works.

I downloaded and burnt the image using Nero express and the resulting cd seems junk.

Nero has caused me nothing but grief burning CD's. I use Nero for authoring CD's, but I recommend using dvddecryptor http://www.dvddecrypter.com/ for burning them.

Bill

Yes, I've used Nero only a few times but didn't like it. K3B is the go. But if you don't have a linux system or knoppix cd yet, I guess thats like the chicken and the egg.

I'm looking for english version. I was download german version. I really don't understand a word. Did anyone know how to change to english language?...

I'm looking for english version. I was download german version. I really don't understand a word. Did anyone know how to change to english language?...

At the first boot screen press F2 or F3 for boot options, this is in english.

Then type: knoppix lang)us

capital number 0 is "=" on the German keyboard. This will show up as "knoppix lang=us"

press enter

Then you will be right, after that point the english keyboard will be used and all the menus etc will be in english. Also if you have a home directory saved to the hard drive you will need to know that / is & (capital seven) eg

knoppix home)&dev&hda5 for "knoppix home=/dev/hda5"

or where you chose to create a home directory.

You can have multiple boot options, I usually have

"knoppix26 knoppix lang)us knoppix home)&dev&hda5"

Have fun.

David.

Hi to all ,

When Knoppix 3.7 official would be released ?

I still remember the time with 3.4 , since the magazine version to official release ...

[ffeirtag]

Hey
Can someone plz briefly post the significant changes since the 3.6 (new packages, services, significant updates, etc), since the changelog was not posted on the web, and the analyzing met in the previous replies doesn't reflect all the points. If there are already any opinions formed please post them too - so the forum surfers like me who still hasn't get the new version will know is it worthy to. (Though I know it is )
Thanks ahead!

P.S
I use knoppix to bring a new audience to the open source community, and sure knoppix is the BEST distro for this purpose!

I seem to be using KNOPPIX to learn Debian!
Accordingly, 3.7 seems to be some sort of a high
stability release: Almost all of the differing
packages are OLDER than those of 3.6.
Using "dpkg -l" (like "rpm -qa", to us RedHat types):

There is the madwifi driver installed in 3.7?

[cryptwizard]

Anyone know a good download manager for linux?
