Ok, it's available from a mirror:

Got it! Thanks guys!

Finally, it is happening!

**Aleu** · 04-09-2005, 01:34 AM

OK guys, I have noticed one irritating thing. During Knoppix boot phase an error message is displayed saying that a directory to evdev.ko module does not exist. Is it normal? Can you see this message as well?

After remaster this version 3.81 no boot errors,to fix the strange fonts in installer and box dialogs
apt-get remove xfonts-artwiz

Fix for nvidia driver

apt-get install kernel-kbuild-2.6-3
rm -f /usr/src/linux
rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.6.11
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.11 /usr/src/linux
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-kbuild-2.6-3/scripts /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.1/scripts

Now Knoppix 3.81 works fine @ Brazilian Portuguese

To install them, add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.4.0/ ./

I've tested Knoppix 3.8.1 and it's absolutely INCREDIBLE!. I've compiled and installed a new program (mplayer), modified KDE preferences and various apps options, added a new background...and only creating a persistent home directory and saving preferences in a 128 mb USB disk, when you reboot it detects ALL automatically! It's like having my own computer in a CD+USB drive everywhere! (That remembers me...I've to buy an 1 GB USB drive

)

Thx for this FANTASTIC distro, and keep up the good work!

Does this version have support for NTFS filesystem? Somehow it seems to me that captive is not included in this version. Could anyone verify this? If there is not NTFS write support, is it enough to apt-get captive-installer-knoppix and captive-ntfs-knoppix?

Thanks

Yes, but apparetnly creating files on NTFS is still dangerous, so, as before, it's pretty much read-only support.

True, captive is not included. ("dpkg -l 'captive*' " indicates no captive packages are installed.)

If there is not NTFS write support, is it enough to apt-get captive-installer-knoppix and captive-ntfs-knoppix?

No. The kernel is apparently not patched to support the LUFS module and there is no installation candidate available for any captive package (despite the dpkg output).

Try Kanotix instead, it's got captive installed. Or, an alternative is to install the captive package manually and use the "captive-cmdline" program
