Knoppix 3.4 with 2.6 kernel available in two weeks?

**Craig2** · 03-15-2004, 11:47 PM

Never used torrent before. Can I use and is it on the 3.3 Knoppix CD? Can I use it if running Knoppix from the CD? Can I host? What do I need to do to host?

Thanks.

You need to download a bitttorrent client and you might need to open up some firewall ports based on the client which you are using.I kind of like http://azureus.sf.net as the bittorrent client but you can find any other client on http://www.sourceforge.net

Basically bittorrent is another p2p file sharing network where in you download from other peers and then you atuomatically start sharing the files on the network so that others can download from your machine.

Bittorrent is not the only option to download iso images.
You can also download via other p2p netowrks like gnutella,edonkey,overnet kazaa etc.
Once I download the ISO images typically I release the ISO on the other p2p networks.
For variosu p2p networks and clients goto http://www.zeropaid.com

Yep, you can use bittorrent with knoppix. First of all you need some place with read/write access to store the downloads and There are various bit torrent files. There is some btdownloadgui, but it generate some error (need some wxPython), but you can use btlaunchmany.

Launch one console, then, move to some place with read & write access, and then write "sudo btlaunchmany .". Then, must begin to appears some message like "All: Spd: 0 B/0 B Tot......", and this messages appears every 1 or 2 seconds.

Then, all you have to do is put some torrent files in this folder( the last dot in the command means: search the torrent files in this folder and dowload the files here; if you want you cant put the destination path here) . And the download will began automathically. In the text messages you will know about tour downloads.

I'm not sure if Cebit has started but it's 16:22 here in Denmark. Does anyone have some piece of information on the status of Knoppix 3.4? Has it been released, are there any Bittorrent links, etc.?

Arrr!
Its already 17:07 here in Germany and there is still no BT Tracker...

**spiff1281** · 03-18-2004, 05:14 PM

I'm wondering if this is our answer? The file name is "knoppix34-ct.iso".

Well, if I can download it today, I guess I'll find out. Thanks for posting this if it is real!

Im fairly positive that this one is not the new one.This is the c't edition which is the CD which came with the C't magazine sometime in February(it has 2.6 kernel init).Even if you see the date on the torrent you will see it was added on Feb 10. I had downloaded a copy of it in February to try the new 2.6 kernel.
