Re: Looking at Knoppix 3.8: msg#00033

Subject: Re: Looking at Knoppix 3.8
THANK YOU! I couldn't grab this off the torrent successfully, so I was beginning to despair. I really want to see what's on this disc and how it compares to earlier versions of Knoppix. It's something I never leave home without. It sits next to my Ubuntu Live disc, though after encountering a P2 the other day, I'm considering adding either BeatriX or DSL to the mix, as both Knoppix and Ubuntu are both too big to do the diagnostics I needed to do on that machine. The people using it were networking it after it had been on AOL some time ago, and I needed to check that it was getting DHCP access, as there was no way I could get anywhere with it given Windows.

So, BeatriX or DSL...It's time for me to make a choice.

At the Cebit fair, a new Knoppix CD was distributed. I cannot find
the ISO image on the net, so I put it on
http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/tmp/k38/ or on chinstrap:~doko

highlights are unionfs, a file system mounted rw over the ro file system
on the CD, so you can install additional packages, change configs, etc.
many options to manually configure hardware.

however, doesn't get the screen dimensions on LCD displays correctly (or
doesn't attempt it).
