Not yet but my download is about 20 min from finish so I will in about an hour.

I want to try qtparted again too it failed and froze the computer on me in the 04-28.

what is it like 2:30 AM way up there in the cold cold north?

Yeah it's getting late hockey was on it's the playoffs. Ethtool lets you find all kinds of settings for your eth card and configure them also. Qtparted works well I took a couple of partitions and expanded the extended one and recreated the old one inside worked perfectly it even formated it ext3. Had to start from the console and there was a warning about opening a reiser partition not being supported in the console when I closed the program.

That sounds great. I'm really glad qtp got included in Knoppix. I look forward to seeing it improve. If any of you get a chance to see how it handles repartitioning windows fs' I'd love to hear about it (esp NTFS). Supposedly it can resize NTFS.

Oh shucks I don't have an NT partition to test it on. Whatever will I do? I know! I'll actually get some computing done. Really tho- it would be great to see an open source project take some of that market away from PM now wouldn't it? Soon I will be trying QTP out getting ready for my new Gentoo install. yup

Ah, someone else who likes *both* extremes - knoppix is all about instant gratification, gentoo is about building it all from scratch, painstakingly tweaking until you get everything just so. Both have their place, and in my book having experience at both ends of the spectrum makes for a well rounded geek.

re: jdiercks

Now if we could just get a Gentoo e-build script for building a Koppix CD!

Then we could have carefully tweaked & instant gratification??

**hapbt** · 05-06-2003, 05:01 PM

any updates to the alsa configuration?
like having alsa autoconfigure itself after an install to the hd ?
maybe just a update to the knx-hdinstall script would do this
