Why Knoppix 3.4 is delayed again ...

[OErjan]

Fabian,

Is all this any help?

How soon d'yer reckon before 3.4 is released?

<Thinking aloud>

Wonder if it would be better if Klaus compiled the kernel source or headers into a .deb or (even better, a tarball) file that we could install ourselves thru a script in case we need to compile additional modules against the source or headers? The headers don't take much space when compressed into a deb. or even a tar file. With a script,we could untar the header to use for compiling stuff. This would be 2 tarfiles; one for 2.4 and one for 2.6 kernels. The source code might be a problem installing when running from a cd, but the headers shouldn't be a problem.

Does anyone
- Run a web server from the CD-distro?
- Compile software from the CD-distro?

The way I got turned onto Knoppix was in College in my CS classes. I would use Knoppix at home when I couldn't get to the college comptuer lab to do lab work. In fact in addition to gcc it would be nice to get the lam(mpi) libraries included at some point (Are they included on the DVD version?)

So I think knoppix should definately be kept as College friendly as possible to help introduce a new generation to Linux.

If I click on one of the links I get "No input file specified." maybe a good sign? or maybe I'm clicking the wrong link.

These are the links to the servers I was talking about

Interesting, nvgringo. I get the same when clicking on any US mirrors. I didn't try any others. Maybe they're moving some new ISO's to the mirrors. That'd keep us busy through the w/e, then we'd be asking when 3.5 was going to be available.

I swear somebody posted a link to a utility that searches for duplicate files then replaces then with links to cut down on remastering size. If I'm not loosing my mind , can some please repost the link?

For what is worth, LAM and MPICH are included in the Quantian live cd

Cheers...

Well, when I heard that LaTex might bite the dust in KNOPPIX I started looking at QUANTIAN. This liveCD is amazing. Its based on clusterKNOPPIX so you can setup an openMOSIX cluster in no time and has tons of math/science apps!
