Knoppix 8.6 new public version is finally out !

Seems very buggy and unstable on first look and testing. 32-bit doesn't load in some configurations or at all depending how it was put to USB ie Rufus. Even with built-in installer basically frozen at 'Past mounting /KNOPPIX', no init, No advancement after Control+D in debug mode . Other laptop is suck on expanding Knoppix stage with error about <400mb over-lay for partitions that don't exist ... 64-bit loads to desktop Ok but no sound and resuming from suspend = crash/reboot on my one of my laptops. So far seems a step back from 8.1 in the hardware support. If I find the switch or solutions it will be a while as I am busy with other problems ... But still nice to see this project going as it has always been a staple in the toolbox and it cut my teeth with coming to knowing a bit more about Linux. Thanks

Yes, I'm very dissapointed. All this time waiting and we receive a version with many bugs and not working as it should. It would have been easier to only update the programs from Knoppix 8.1, the kernel and nothing more. I hope that the next version will come soon and with the problems solved, but who knows... I also miss a CD version. Sometimes we only need a browser and some basic things, nothing more.
