Announcement from Klaus - DVD Knoppix planned

**Dave_Bechtel** · 06-12-2003, 07:45 AM

We are currently planning a DVD edition of Knoppix for LinuxTag 2003 (http://www.linuxtag.org/2003/en/index.html).

For this, I would like to know which software you would like to see on a "full featured" version. Uncompressed space available is about 6 GB (currently in use: 2.7 GB), so the compressed image will roughly need 2.2 GB of space on a 4.7 GB medium, if not too much data is already in compressed format.

The remaining of the DVD space will be used for the free conference papers, sponsor and multimedia stuff.

--Also, 2003-0606 will probably be the last version until LinuxTag 2003 happens.

Anyone know the dates for LinuxTag 2003? I can't seem to get into their website.

I asked Klaus about weather we can buy the DVD, and the answer was basicly no, you have to come. So I can't exactly travel to the other side of the world, but I would really like a DVD!

Hmm just reading the email again, he says he doesn't know, and there may be leftovers that could be sold by resellers. I've sent an email to Linuxtag so they might be able to clarify.

This DVD edition will be a one-time project and only be available
within the LinuxTag 2003 Kit (fee is used for funding the Free
Project booths on the exhibition), and not for download (maybe with
exceptions for betatesters with high bandwidth). Followup editions
of Knoppix after LinuxTag will still be standard 700MB CD images
(until virtually everyone can afford a DVD-writer and CD-Rom drives
have vanished completely).- Klaus Knopper

Can you only obtain the LinuxTag kit referenced above if you're at LinuxTag? I'll send some money!!

Hello all,

That how promotionals work -- so we will have to wait.

But not to long, please. So why doesn't someone
with a really big hard drive start adding on the programs?

I miss the speech reading engine -- so don't
forget putting festival back in. That will be good
for a few megabytes.

But why not a KNOPPIX that mounts 2 CD's first?

Best Wishes
