The Torrents. Enjoy!

I apologize if I someone already ask this - but it would be really nice if you update to xfce4 for the next release. Thanks for the outstanding project!

I managed to piece together a presentable xfce4 but some plugins seem to not want to work.

Thanks.

On which version of the kernel is this version based?

You'll need to send requests like this to the developers list.

For anyone interested, the following is the difference in installed packges from 2003-11-03-EN to 2003-11-14-EN. This is based on the output of "dpkg -l", where I ran diff on the outputs from both systems and then put them through a 1 minute perl script:
<pre>
while(<>){
chomp;
($io,$stat,$pack,$ver,@rubb)=split(/\s+/,$_);
$hash{$io}{$pack}=$ver;
}
$new=$hash{'>'};
$old=$hash{'<'};
foreach $pack (sort(keys(%$new))){
if (length($$old{$pack})) {
push(@updated,"$pack $$old{$pack} -> $$new{$pack}");
} else {
push(@new,"$pack $$new{$pack}");
}
}
print "New Packages\n".join("\n",@new);
print "\n\nUpdated Packages\n".join("\n",@updated);
print "\n\nRemoved Packages\n";
foreach $pack (sort(keys(%$old))){
print "$pack $$old{$pack}\n" if (!(length($$new{$pack})));
}

</pre>
Here's the results:

Ok, Where is iso file then?

Also I am one of many KOffice users. Can we get it in the ISO file
as well? Thanks.''

Thanks. This would be nice to have for each release.

How do I update my 2003-11-03 Knoppix installation to the latest version?
