The topic for this item should have the release as 24, not 23, according to the changelog.

How does Libranet work with your ati card?

Have you tried the XF86Config-4 sw_cursor option in knoppix?

Section "Device"
### Available Driver options are:-
# sw_cursor is needed for some ati and radeon cards
#Option "sw_cursor"
(snip)...

just wondering?

Well, tell you the truth, I love my Libranet 2.7. It is my primary OS. Libranet works excellent with my ati card. I've been using Libranet since version 1.9. I'm very happy with it. I'll purchase the next release when it comes out. I would like to use it at work. As for Knoppix, I can use the November release without any problem. Actually that is the version that's installed on my HD. The newer releases won't start the X server. I can only use them if and only if I use xmodule=fbdev. sw_cursor has no effect on it whatsoever. With debian based distro, you really don't need new releases. Once you install one, you can then upgrade to the latest software. But it is fun to try out new releases.

Sounds like I'm not upgrading to V3.2 any time soon! I'm using 2003.0101 and 1108.2002 without a problem. The only thing I need to upgrade is the latest changes to GCC's gcj java port project. Guess I'll just have to wait a bit!

Regards,

With Debian, you really don't have to upgrade to any distro specific version as you know. If you have a solid, stable system, just stick with it. I think this is the beauty of having a Debian system installed unlike other RPM, tarball based systems (no disrespect here for other distros at all). By the way I have Slackware 9.0 installed along with my Libranet 2.7(up-to-date), and Knoppix 3.1 (up-to-date).

Knoppix 3.1 EN 12-12-2002 was the first Linux to ever boot on my machine. The HD install wasn't very polished so I went with Libranet 2.0 essentials. I apt-got the testing and now the logon screen is Debian. Libranet has been completely replaced durring the process. It's been over a week since I was in Debian as I've been too busy playing with the Knoppix 3.2 CeBIT rip. I'll have to try apt-get kde and see if they finally got kde3.11 up for sarge. I'll also try to get gnome 2.2.

As for Knoppix 3.2 final, when they (Klaus) are done fixing it, I'll try the latest EN version. Also the next KnoppixKDE from edaz.

Well, my problem is that I can't install anything to the hdds at school. That's why I moved to a bootable CD distro like KNOPPIX. I need a new lab b/c my hdds are dying....

Try the latest 2003-03-24 EN and see if that works.

Or wait until next week's releases

I wonder when SMB printing will be fixed. The last version I downloaded was 3/23/03. No mention in the changelog about SMB Windows shared printing with the 3/26 release...

**audioaficionado** · 03-27-2003, 07:10 AM

The 2003-03-26 release doesn't have it?

The change log only goes to 2003-03-23.

So far I haven't been able to print at all with the v3.2 CeBIT rip as knoppix can't find the cups files during boot up. I've printed with v3.1 2002-12-12 just fine. I hope the latest v3.2 2003-03-26 has CUPS fixed as this makes the second 700Mb ISO I've downloaded today.

- mknbi bugfix (Caution: mknbi 1.2.12-1 in debian-testing is currently
broken) etherboot network bootwing with knoppix-terminalserver
should work again
- scribus update 0.9.7 (thanks to Fabian Franz for the hint)
- Re-enabled >= 32GB support for some old IDE controllers in kernel
- Recompile linux-wlan-ng modules with gcc-2.95
- New knoblind.bat blind-friendly bootfloppy generator by Osvaldo La Rosa
- Support for lang=be in knoppix-autoconfig
- cdrtools update 2.01+a06

the init script to continue).
