Knoppix 3.3 Update, 3.4 C't Edition Are Out
hkfczrqj writes "Knoppix has two more children. The first, 3.3-2004-02-09, an update with kernel 2.4-24-xfs, KDE 3.1.5, Mozilla 1.6, XFree 3.4. Also, and more important I guess, Knoppix 3.4 c't edition is out (torrent here). It is supposed to have kernel 2.6!" And it does. If you're looking for a way to test your setup with a 2.6 kernel without trashing a current install, this is a good way -- but note that the ct edition Knoppix boots into German (Shift-0 gets you an =, as in "lang=us") and kernel 2.4; you'll need to type "knoppix26" at startup to boot the new kernel. (You may find the excellent forums at knoppix.net helpful, too.) Update: 02/10 01:03 GMT by T : Note that the XFree version is really 4.3, not 3.4.
This is great and all, but why would I do this when I have MandrakeMove?
Does it run linux?
You are the first person from the /. community I have ever wanted to thwack (apart from whoever gave me bad karma...) This was childish, irritating, offtopic and irrational (no pun intended).
If the best you can do is troll, at least make it a decent one.
I declare the society for decent trolling now open! Chairman (me) now presiding
Because MandrakeMove freezes durning hardware detection and Knoppix doesn't?
Mandrake certainly doesn't like something about this setup:
MY E-PENIS IS BIGGER THAN YOURS AND I HAVE MORE MONEY
I used the cheap Indian knock-off "Does it run linux?" instead of the far superior American original "Can it run Linux?".
And a Heil Hitler to you too my good man.
