Hi,

I am new in the Linux world. So I do not understand what means unstable in first line.
I understand that the KDE 3.1.1 release is not working 100%. Is it correct ?
What about english language problem in OpenOffice and Knoppix it self ? It was solved ?

Thank you,
Alex

So does this version finally make it possible to launch using enlightenment as the windowing environment?

I tried it and.... I like it a lot better then previous pre-releases !!
Saving your configuration went well... just a shame a few minor things (like window resizing) weren't stored.
One problem I have found : smb browsing didn't work for me ...
It said something about kio_smb ... maybe it's gotta do with the kdemultimedia-kio-plugins ??
(I see them in KDE 3.1.1 stable, but maybe they aren't in sid ??)
Thnx for anyone who can explain this to me

Alex, about the stable/unstable thing, the Debian distribution (which Knoppix is based on) considers everything that hasn't been tested VERY thoroughly "unstable". The KDE developers think 3.1.1 is stable enough, but it hasn't been out for long, so it could be that major bugs turn up and we'll see 3.1.2 in a few days. Or not.
Knoppix starts in English by default now, this was fixed in the previous 3-21b-release. I'm not sure about OpenOffice, but "Autosetup" sounds very nice

sfish, I don't think so, it probably would've been in the changelogs.

Eduardo, check the mirrors linked to on the Knoppix homepage. My prejudice is that German mirrors take less time to get updated, but I may very well be wrong.

Neje,

Thank you for your explanation. I have another doubt. The topic´s name is V3.1-2003-03-23 (Experimental release). Is it correct ? Is the latest release 3.2 ?

Thats just a miss-print or typo, take a look at the mirrors and the files name is V3.2-2003-03-23

Yes i cut and pasted this from the changelog and there was a typo there. It's fixed now. Thanks.

I have now downloaded this release myself and OpenOffice is English by default (in the EN version, of course). I really like the new transparent mouse cursor too .
