They're coming out faster than I can burn them.

But seeing as 2003-03-24 works fine for me, I think I'll just sit tight.

I made myself promise that I would not download anything for at least a week after the 3.2 release. I guess it's paying off.

I'm amazed at the quick releases and ammount of fixes this week. Klaus kicks some major butt!

That's just great! I just finished burning a CD-RW from the image I downloaded yesterday. I guess I should've checked here first....

Wow... More support for the Super Savage, That is just
totally excellent ! Anyone know if it has a softswitch for
TV-out? If I use the harddware switch built in to my
Toshiba (4280 sat pro) knoppix 3.1 just fails after 10
minutes with xine or mplayer.

I'll download this one tomorrow

I have had a problem with burning CDs with a Sony Spressa USB burner. X cd toaster does not even run (seems to start then dies) and K3b fails during the task. The 3.2 iso image was burned using 3.1 and X cd toaster on the same system, so it has worked fine. I must say that I have failed to read error logs. Have not tried it on a system with an ATA burner yet. It was unexpected because it all worked so good with 3.1.

Still works better that it was when I had it running on Win98. I was almost ready to scrap the burner, then I ran it on Linux. Have produced as many silver coasters total since turning to Linux as I would produce in one secession under Win98! I use Knoppix to burn CDs on my Win system (required by the company) using my USB burner. It is a little slow (4X), but is burns as fast as our 16X departmental burner on NT. Burned my first iso with the NT setup and since I have not looked back!

Would like to see the USB burner work so I can put 3.2 on my laptop. I like the graphics! I with hard disk install it this weekend and play around with the applications the next little bit.

Overall, I like Knoppix and the selection of applications. It is crowding out other distros for me. I have put it on both desktops and laptops with no problems. It has failed to come up on a system, but I have not tried any of the cheat codes because it is so easy just to try another computer. The computer has a wierd configuration where the on-board AGP is disabled and the "real" video is PCI. Knoppix finds the on-board AGP video and things go downhill from there. Do not blame Knoppix for that one.

I like Debian and Knoppix puts a nice face on it. I have one fast link and will burn new updates as fast as they come out!

The one thing that I would change is to add flexiblity in the partitions. I have to be more clever than I like to be to add /home et cetera. Besides I have to remember to set up my disk. Would like to have /boot without gyrations! It is not a big pain, just a little one. Compared to everything else, I'll adjust.

I installed (yes, like the speed of hdd) 3.2-23-3-2003 version, had difficulty getting apt-get to update or install. Is the source not correct or is the apt-get problem?

When booting the live CD of todays release, persistant home works fine. But, when it finds the save config file it look for a passwd. It needs a 20 character passwd.

Is there a default passwd it needs to boot?

Thanks for the help,
paul

I had the same problem, although I explicitly saved the configuration without a password.
