Knoppix 5.0: Looks great but I wont be able to use it. I dont have a dvd drive. Will there be a CD version of Knoppix 5.0?

[RandomGoon]

Yes, eventually. Just bide your time a bit more and it'll be out. I too am eagerly awaiting the CD version (I like to have both on hand) while I leave Bit Tornado downloading the DVD.

Yes, as far as I know, the CD version should be released soon.
In the mean time, if you try my new 5.01 minirt_usb6.gz boot ramdisk,
you should be able to boot Knoppix 5.01 from the DVD ISO image being located on the hdd

Downloading 5.0.1 -EN- DVD version (4,05 Gb) stopped when 98%
with message no space left...
still got 60 Gb of free space,
is it because file is bigger than 4Gb on fat32 file system ?
has someone completed the 4,05 Gb download ?
Thanks for any clue and advice...

Seems pretty likely. That has already been discussed in this newsgroup.

Dear friends,
the new Knoppix 5.0.1 DVD is amazing but I have a big (for me) problem, I can not running the ndiswrapper.
Let explain to you in more details:
I have PCMCIA Linksys WPC54GS wireless card. I did install the windows driver using the command ndiswrapper -i /path/ lsbcmnds.inf and this is/was successfull

then I did the command ndiswrapper -m all ok till know.
Now it is the time to load the kernal module so I did the command modprobe ndiswrapper BUT THE LOADING OF THE MODULE GIVE ERROR (I have not it ) so the module did not loading and it is not possible to work with my wireless card.

The questuion is, if you have wireless card that needs ndiswrapper please try it and reverted to me if the result was successefull or not...

Best Regards,
Mike Kranidis

I have the same problem with the CD version. I run wireless with ndiswrapper on Slackware with no troubles. I google search and a different linux forum leads me to believe it is bad ndiswrapper on Knoppix. Not impressed...........

ndiswrapper in knoppix 5.0 .1 is busted.....................and obviously was never tested

[Tom Tiger]

Mmm... I like the new Knoppix but I have to nitpick, I do, I must..... LinNeighborhood is gone.... and Ndiswrapper
seems to have developed a problem. Rest works fine, I'll adjust my sources list a little and see what I can apt-get into it
But I like to see LinNeighborhood back into Knoppix, Knetattach is nice but for running stuff directly from a samba server
it ain't so good as Lin (I'm lazy I just like to mount a drive by clicking around....)
