Is Knoppix V7.6 almost ready?

[ruymbeke]

Hello Klaus,
I hope you and your family are doing well. Thank you very much for this new version of Knoppix.
Some time ago you provided a HowTo get the 64 bits compile & run time environment for Knoppix 7.0.2
http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/298...l=1#post126922
These steps are no longer working with Knoppix 7.6.0. Could you please suggest something ?
Could you please consider adding the minimal 64 bits run time libraries to your next release ?
So 64 bits binaries (with statically linked libraries or minimal linked libraries) could also be executed
right out of your great dvd. A script to install the 64 bits compile environment would be ideal.
Thank you very much for your time, hard work and persistence.
Best Regards,
Gilles

Hi Klaus,
I just woul like to bring to your attention that the output format of the "ifconfig" program have now changed
which now breaks multiple scripts, knoppix-terminalserver being one of them. Knoppix 7.5.0 was still ok.
cf: https : / / bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=784314
I also have trouble getting the vmware tools to autostart and have the cut & paste working between
the host and the guest vm. It is probablly not related to the above problem. Any idea ?
Best Regards,
Gilles

1--I think you may have better luck getting Klaus K on Debian-Knoppix mailing list.
2--Regarding your query, I also had some of my pet tweaks stop working recently.
It seems that in my case iwlist no longer works as before. However, I found the nmcli does a lot more.
You may see my example at http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/317...ighlight=nmcli
