looking forward to grab that CD as soon as possible. It really helps me out in our insitutes lab where there no linux machine. :-)
i'm downloading it as we speak :), thanks for the link !
Anyone test to see how well "Aptget update" and "Aptget upgrade" work after a hard drive install?
Any of you guys ever tried Knoppix-STD?
To be honest, I like it alot better than regular Knoppix; mind you, Knoppix-STD is still in it's infancy.
Thanks for the link!!
yes knoppix std is still verry young but i love it...but sometimes when you boot up linux you just dont need all the honeypots, port scanners, crackers, etc.....sometimes you just want to check your mail or something...so knoppix is fine...and sometimes even that can be too much
so i carry along with knoppix and knoppix std the linux bbc distro....very very handy and it includes X of some sort so you can get online and check your mail from any computer in any hotel lobby and so on

Knoppix is a great cd to learn about linux. I also like knoppix std for the way it is set up and the tools that are included. But to just get online at school, I like to use slax. It is small and fast on the slower computers that still exist.

Handy announcement, but doesn't this belong in the "Operating Systems" forum?
I have a HP ZE4145 that I've been having a hell of a time installing linux on. Redhat 9.0 freezes at the choose ok to install or update.... Mandrake 9.1 has an unrecoverable error on boot from the cd.... phlak wont boot...knoppix std won't boot...3.4 nada//...downloaded knoppix 3.6, same thing...I get the initial knoppix screen, press enter to boot and it just goes black and never initializes.
1.53 gigahertz AMD Athlon XP
256 kilobyte primary memory caches.
Is this because of the Athlon processor?
I did get Mandrake 10 to install but it keeps insisting on disk 4.. I have 3.. I can't even install any games without disk 4! And my mouse pad won't work.
I have Knoppix on my old desktop and I love it, I've installed it on my old Dell laptop and it worked great. Why won't it work on this machine??
maybe your cdrom-drive is defect /lens is dirty. otherwise, there is a minor possibility that your machine has some hardware that has absolutely no compatibility with linux, and i don't mean the cpu, cause that wouldn't be the problem.
try using knoppix noagp nousb etc, so skip hardware detection..
as for MK10, the only way you can get cd 4 is by ordering the version from Mandrake if i'm correct.. i have got me a copy of MK10 too, but i have the same issue, but you can still install it without the use of the 4th cd..
if all else fails, try another distro again, like slackware 10 or so, i must say i find slackware 9.1/10 the most easiest distro's to install.
Hmm...new version of Knoppix...
Last version I tried, I burned it onto a CD-ROM several times over, and continued to get I/O errors while booting. Oh well, maybe I'll try again with this new release.
My cd lens is ok.......everything else works, I'm to the point that I'm sure it's a hardware problem. I know about cd 4 in Mandrake, but I was able to install mandrake 10 on 3 other machines, including games, without the constant instistence on cd4 like I get on this laptop.
I'm not sure about noagp nousb ... on boot from the cd it just says BOOT: I press enter and nothing happens.
I will try other distro's if all else fails, but I have tried just about all of them at one time or onother on different machines and I really like KNOPPIX.. I also like mandrake.
You nead to find out at what point Knoppix is stalling and then use the apropriate cheat code to by pass the hardware detection phase for the problem piece of hardware. For instance Knoppix STD stalls at the scsi detection part of the boot process on my laptop. To get it to work i enter," Knoppix noscsi" at the boot screen.
Quote:
Cheatcodes are used to pass values to KNOPPIX, to help with getting it working on difficult hardware. You type them into the boot screen, shown to the left, and press enter/return. The format is "kernel opt opt opt ...". Usually "knoppix" is the right selection for the "kernel", options as listed below (in Gnoppix is Credativ).
Example: "knoppix xvrefresh=60 noscsi floppyconfig"
You can type more than one cheatcode before press enter (i.e. knoppix lang=us knoppix xmodule=fbdev).
Note, the latest version of the Knoppix cheatcodes is always available here : http://download.linuxtag.org/knoppix...cheatcodes.txt
