- wavelan-ng-modules is back (forgot that in the previous release)
- removed some older/unneeded gnome libraries
- kdevelop seems to create KDE applications again after updating
some KDE-packages from unstable.

OH MY GOSH

If this has my card....3com Wireless LAN ATMEL Based w/ XJACK antenna I'm going to TRULY LOVE this distribution.

I hope my wireless card works with the new updates....This WILL BE my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE linux ditribution if it does.

Thanks EITHER WAY though for this great version of Linux...Never been able to install Linux this easy in my life.

Here's a thread i posted recommending KNOPPIX on a site I goto

http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/mess...hreadid=165299

If its ATMEL support isn't already in this update...i hope you'll look at this site....or i hope someone will figure out how to put this in and let me know how.

THANKS AGAIN!

I have d/led this and tried to use it but I still have a problem with X server not coming up at all. I do have ATI Rage 128 32 Mb video card. I have posted this problem to HDD install forum. I'd like to use ati instead of fbdev xmodule. Any suggestions or possible solutions is appreciated.

Thank you,

Is the file ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.uni-kl....3-03-24-EN.iso The same as the release that we are discusing here, or something newer/different?

I'm reminded of the meaning of the word BETA...because this version of KNOPPIX

Won't EVEN boot on my laptop machine.

But KUDOS for getting OpenOffice.org fixed so quickly...

It won't boot (says boot failed) on my laptop machine but I tried a different machine and it worked.

But something must've changed because it used to boot quite well on that laptop machine before.
But this is an unstable kernel i think so i guess i'll just have to keep waiting for more new releases.

Keep up the GREAT work...

I learned quite a while ago with linux, if an older release works use it.

You're absolutely right on that. I have Libranet2.7 and Knoppix 3.1 November release installed on my HD. They work really great. Good thing is that they are based on Debian. I have recently upgraded both of them to the latest software. But still, I'd like to try out new Linux flavors as they come out.

mag,

Good to hear about other Libranet users hanging around here

I've been using Libranet 1.9 and 2.0 for almost 2 years now. Even used libranet 1.2.x (until I mangled it)

How does Libranet work with your ati card?

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

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

just wondering?
