Just fine !

A lot of Knoppix-users were disappointed about Knoppix 5.3.1: no CD version and other things they didn't like very much

So I think the new concept of Knopipx 6.0.0. can bring back old Knoppix fans

So let 's test

Knoppix 6 is crap. Pure crap. There I said it and I'm glad.

@turbine: why?

It works on my old Dell 2400 (compiz works also) and on my old laptop.... Just need to find a way to disable the anoying voice.... Love the LXDE desktop, pretty cool..

I haven't gotten it working yet - my machine is an old P4, with 224M ram, 1.6GHz, and a Viewsonic A70f CRT monitor. I get a 'H.V frequency over range' message. I tried vga=normal screen=1024x768 vsync=60 hsync=60, with no change. I also googled it without results. Has anyone else had this problem?

@turbine: why?

The default mode seems to be targeted to a minority, the visually impaired.
Then you're confined to a character based menu that restricts what you can do.

When I finally figured out that you can type knoppix at boot time and get a graphical interface, what I got was a presentation whose icons and print was so tiny that these old eyes could hardly perceive same. The top and bottom of the screen were off of the monitor and had to be scrolled to be seen.

I checked the cheat codes and found that you could specify a kde desktop and a different screen resolution. I tried and both were totally ignored.

The scarcity of apps is borderline criminal.

At that point I gave up and tossed the cd into the circular file.

Knoppix seems to have peaked at the 4.02 dvd version which is still my main day to day distro. It's gone downhill ever since.
