Hi,
i'm new to Knoppix, and yet i just fell in love with it the moment i tried it !!
It recognized all hardware parts in my PC perfectly and i was surfing the web in minutes.
My only complaint is; Knoppix can't play Realplayer(ra) audio/video files.
I've tried to listen some streaming music but Knoppix failed to play because the streaming audio was in ReaulAudio format.
I was wondering if this problem is rather due to licensing issues rather than than technical issues?
If the problem is due to licencing issues with Realplayer/Realone corporation; then i wonder why Knoppix developers don't try alternative ways in order to make Knoppix play or handle Real audio/video files/formats?
I'm aware of at least one alternative source which can handle or play real audio files/formats.
It's called "Real Alternative" ( http://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/finalbuilds.htm ).
I'm quite sure you Knoppix developers are already aware of this aletranative program. Yet i'm surprized as to why you haven't integrated into Knoppix in order to make it even more attractive.
Similarly this site ( http://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/finalbuilds.htm ) also has codecs which can play Windows Media Player files. And i hope Knoppix can integrate all these features into its next release.
All the best.javascript:emoticon('')
