Hi Klaus,
Same here. This is a nice video / presentation.
I finally got my hands on your latest version of Knoppix 6.5 (a friend shipped me the Linux Magazine from UK)
and again you have done a fantastic and amazing job. Thank you very much for continuing the Knoppix development !
I now have a couple of questions and suggestions for improvements:
1) How do you compile and run 64 bits code ? (after using "knoppix64" as a boot parameter)
2) Could you please consider removing the legacy support in the the 64 bits kernel for speed improvement ?
3) Could you please compile the kernel to allow for more than 8 cloop files ?
4) Could you please compile the kernel to allow for more than 8 processor cores ? (the i7-980X has 12 and more are coming soon)
5) How to change (or restore) a soft link date/time ? (to create an exact replication of a file tree, cp, tar, rsync do not work, is this a bug ?)
6) Since the new forum have all the internal references (links) broken, is it possible to make a snapshot of the old forum for reference ?
When is the next public version of Knoppix available for download ? (not everybody have access to Linux Magazine)
If you are interested I have customized the init boot script and minirt.gz to add functionalities suh as:
boot from iso on hdd (for speed without adding a partition), pxe boot from iso on a samba or nfs share,
data persistence (delta only) stored in a partition,... cf: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/threads...l=1#post123504
How can I help you ? Thank you very much,
Gilles van Ruymbeke
