Version 3.2-2003-04-15

[..(normal) boot messages..]
Soundcard:

BTW, I recently booted my 'first ever' Knoppix CD again, a late 3.1er. Contrary to the 3.2 version it does state my soundcard there, some C-Media intel8x0 compatible on-board sound.

btw, with 3.2, booting "knoppix alsa", I still need to use OSS for audio, so there is definately something not working. I'm not sure if ALSA has support for my card anyways.

I'll post the lpci -v output for soundcard when I boot Knoppix, and/or get my Debian/Knoppix hdinstall running again. I've probably posted it already here somewhere, and you could off coarse look it up on some 3.1er version.

Hey, alsa does have OSS emulation. Does your card work or not ? All other issues were fixed by a new release of knx-alsa. ) [ I mean those error-messages; thx for the report I ahd more time that I thought ]

Those will be in next .iso.

Uhm, OSS emu is to run OSS programs on ALSA supported cards, not the other way around, isn't it?

btw, when I boot plain knoppix (a well " knoppix lang=nl), I get no welcome message (voice), but when I set artsd to use OSS (or autodetect) it works (my mouse with mousewheel too ) I also just saw that my soundcard is display'd during autodetect in this mode.

If I boot with "knoppix alsa" then I do get the voice and OSS (or autodetect) works, not ALSA.

lspci -v output:

btw, nice that (almost) all the windowmanagers show up in kdm when logging in.

But where's xfce? I like the CDE look *cough*

As a sidenote, does somebody know if a hdinstalled Knoppix would run on a P100-40MB? In graphics mode. Booting it off CD is a PITA, the ramdrive takes about 73% of your RAM... Would the 30MB extra help a lot? If so I'd ditch my -working, but- old Suse 6.4 install and tweak xfce so it has all the nice programs in the panels (please, replace the Netscape button/menu with Mozilla/Konqueror).

I have a trouble with reading my own configuration from floppy. It seems to that it try read cfg from floppy at time, when floppy isnt till mounted.

ie: knoppix=/mnt/auto/floppy raise /dev/auto: No such file or directory

this is in this new version also, (now i run older, also the same trouble), but interesting is,
that if i save my configuration on zip media so knoppix myconf=scan same as
knoppix myconf=/dev/sda4 so this configuration it finds. Rem: floppy working, its after KDE running
normally mounted. Tested on two computers, at home and in faculty.

Also agree with idea, pass knoppix myconfig=scan into default iso, where will be something like:

Trying to find personal configuration #1
Trying to find personal configuration #2
Trying to find personal configuration #3

without questioning if try again when not found. In fact for this, that it will be fully
automatized and start without user activity, with or without personal config, without
stopping in case that nothing were found.

Also thing, it will be beter to implement wheelmouse into default iso with cause, that can
be called knoppix nowheel if someone will have trouble with wheelmouse protocol.

Dont get me stone, if i said somewhere something not clear

Hm, I'm sorry, but what you said is obsoleted

For floppy use: "knoppix floppyconf"

It is a really bad idea to use wheelmouse as default. The mouse will not work at all on those pcs, now only the wheel does not work, and that is fair better. But this issue is solved:

In 04-18 is Mouse-Protocol = auto, and for some mice (actually just one laptop was found incomptible, all others were automatically detected) a new cheatcode "nowheel" will be added in next ISO.
