Knoppix v3.4 Hits The Mirrors
zxflash writes "SolidZ.com reports the latest update to KNOPPIX; the popular Linux based OS has just been released. Version 3.4 includes the version 2.6.5 Linux Kernel and improved hardware detection. It can be downloaded from one of the mirrors listed on the KNOPPIX homepage..." rduke15 adds "Koffice has been dropped for space reasons, as well as LaTex.
From the forum: 'Download using bittorrent tracker at http://torrent.unix-ag.uni-kl.de:6969/. Remember: Leave your bittorrent client running after the download is finished!' And this is the complete list of included packages."
The site in the article is already getting slow, so I mirrored the .torrent files.

Homestarrunner.net -- It's Dot Com!
It's easy to create Word documents in Linux.
I meta-mod all positive moderation Unfair, because it's abuse of the system.
If you're gonna check out Knoppix then have a look at KnoppiXMAME too.
KDE 3.2.2
OpenOffice.Org 1.1.1
Gimp 2.0
Im burning right now... but I just wished they wouldn't have removed KOffice :(
We've always been at war with Eurasia.
And for those looking for a custom version of Knoppix with a few different tools built in check out this site:
http://www.knoppix-std.org/
From the site:
STD focuses on information security and network management tools. It is meant to be used by both the novice looking to learn more about information security and the security professional looking for another swiss army knife for their tool kit.
The guy copied the same damn links that are in the parent.
Why not submit your resume in PDF format? It'll be smaller, uneditable, and almost everyone has a PDF viewer of some kind. Note: These are all from my own personal experience.
Have some manners :P
Guess I'll just have to wait. Tried every server across the globe and saw no version 3.4
Oh well.
Who is this that even the wind and the waves obey Him? Surely this computer must submit also!
You're looking for morphix - modular knoppix.

Here's a tip: next year try TurboTax online. I can tell you it works fantastically, I've been using it for a few years now.
"captive" is mentioned in the package list, so it seems they included it.
My CV/resume is in pdf format, and I have sent it to about 100 companies and recruiters. The only place to complain was Disney, who (of course) wanted it in msword format. That was about a year ago. It doesn't make sense to me to go buy this software and maintain 2 copies of my resume for 1% of potential employers.
IIRC, the DVD was given out at Linux-tag, in Germany a few months ago. If you google around, you might be able to find it.
These are from the comments on the torrent page for KNOPPIX

Its not what it is, its something else.
He's already check out most of the stuff on the disk as redistributable. It's been out for over a year now. Several companies have made exceptions so he can put the stuff on the disk and have it be redistributable. Note, Knoppix isn't about being "pure" OSS. It's meant to work and show off how good Linux can be... not turn everything on the disk into OSS. Klaus has banged on a lot of doors to get cool stuff put on the disk. Hint: Tell your favorite packages [flash, Nvidia drivers, etc] to get on board!!!!
It's not a political statement at all. I could care less about the fact that DOC is an MS format. If I was trying to make a statement, I'd send it out in SXW format and tell them that if they can't view it, then they need to get the appropriate viewer. It's merely one way of completely insuring that my resume will look a certain way, no matter how somebody chooses to view it. I've sent my resume out in PDF format and I have not received a single complaint.

Reading the traffic on the knoppix news forums http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=4 suggests that "Many" people were unhappy about droping Koffice as they don't like OpenOffice. Even I, a fanatic OpenOffice promoter/user, am going to miss Kmail on my new knoppix cd. I guess I could bother to read the docs on how to remaster a version myself. Which remides me... You said: Read the documentation:

Also no problem with OO 1.1.1 on duron 950 and 384mb here. Sounds like the parent has problems to sort that aren't OO.

No, the Acrobat Reader is not GPL'd. Redistribution is permitted according to the terms of the license (which basically say that you can redistribute it for free, but don't reverse engineer it, etc.)
You have to throttle.
If you don't set a max upload limit, bittorrent will suck every bit of upload bandwidth available, and you will not be able to do anything else (including downloading that same bittorrent). Try setting your max to 35kbps, or something about 5kbps below what it's showing your max is now.
That will give your connection some breathing room to actually get a decent download speed.
Sigh. I guess it's about time for me to update the Knoppix data rescue guide on how to use knoppix to rescue data off dying windows machines.
Try throttling your upstream on your BT client (Or get a better one if it doesn't let you) to 1/2 or 2/3 your total upstream bandwidth.. If you use all your upstream, you're downstream speed will suck ass..
I'm on comcast cable, which (in real life) has 24-25K upstream, so I set my upstream throttle in Azeurus to 16K, and i'm now maxing out my downstream with just the knoppix DL.. (400K/s)
My email addy? should be easy enough.
Well, I restarted with it throttled (16k) and while it didn't max it out, it did triple the throughput, with occasional peaks. Apparently it's more the client than the protocol that's the issue. Or just my bad assuming the default install from the official release would work, I guess. ;-/
one glitch when detecting SCSIs on my comp. got a seg fault during the detection... setting noscsi in lilo resolved this problem.
one thing i noticed is missing is the hard drive hdd install script/program that used to be there in all the older versions.
the c't preview version didnt have it either and google shows this link for a script for that version http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8171
anyone had any luck installing the new 3.4 on their comps?

kyhwana is right - you need to throttle your BT upload speed so that there's room for the acknowledgement packets you are sending to people you are downloading from. On my ADSL connection I have 1.5Mbps down and 256kbps up, so my uplink is theoretically able to handle 256/8 = 32 kbytes/sec, ignoring protocol overhead. I am using the wondershaper script on my firewall, so that gets eroded to 220kbps or about 27 kbytes/sec max throughput.
:-).
On a fast torrent I hit my max download speed (120 to 140 kbytes/sec) which uses about 6-8 kbytes/sec of my upload bandwidth for ACKs. So I can run up to 19 kbytes/sec uploading before I see congestion and slowdowns. I usually throttle it back to 15 kbytes/sec to maximize my downloading while allowing me to do other things online while BT is active. BT is set to allow a 10:1 ratio for your download speeds from other leechers. So, if you are uploading at 15 kbytes/sec, you should be able to download at 150 kbytes/sec. If you are downloading from a seed, then the ratio doesn't matter
If I am only seeding, I can just let BT use the maximum uplink speed of my connection, since there isn't anything else downloading. The wondershaper script on my firewall is set up to give low priority to BT packets. Activity on my other machines will get placed at the front of the queue, if there is a queue. The price I pay for low latency for ssh, web browsing, email, and gmaing is the loss of about 15% of my max bandwidth. It's a worthwhile tradeoff.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because the people who mind don't matter, and the people who matter don't mind.
While I tend to use LaTeX for everything, I understand that after all, Knoppix is a distro that enables loads of new users to try Linux for the first time and so on. They are not going to use LaTeX. Otoh, LaTeX (and a flurry of other scientific applications) would benefit from their own liveCD. And you know what? It exists!!!! It's called Quantian, and hopefully, a new version (based on Knoppix 3.4) will be out soon. Loads of math/engineering programs, TeX, LyX, Texmacs, scipy... Unfortunately, this project is not as visible as Knoppix (it's a derivative, after all).

To start off there is how to do simplest morph, then how to build a Mini-Module, then how to Add Modules to the Live CD. Then how to do bigger changes in by changing one of the Main-Modules.
The How Tos inlcude all the command line voodoo. It even possible to make a live-cd (image) by using the live-cd. There are different pre-made CD images with a whole range of (currently GUI-cantered) software. It also has an easy-to-use installer.
Not so any more. I switched my custom Knoppix ISO over to Morphix. There is a nice little perl script that can help you make a minimodule. Download a main module, and whichever minimodules you like, and burn them to a CD. It really has gotten much easier. Easier than building a Knoppix distro (which wasn't too hard either).
Sure, Morphix needs some improvements, but that is happening. Not only that, but the minimod generator builds a compressed filesystem. For instance - if you want a full, working Quake MegaTF server for Linux, you could download the Morphix mod for that, burn it to a CD with the LightGUI mainmod, and have a bootable Quake Server. OR you could just download the minimod file, uncompress it, and just have everything you need for a local Quake server.
Check out morphix.org for all the details.
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.

Fortunately, for those of us who weren't reading slashdot last night, suprnova.org has a far better torrent available (which still works the morning after):
http://66.90.75.92/suprnova//torrents/1681/KNOPPI
After getting 0kB/s via the torrent provided to slashdot, I was gratified to be getting 79kB/s via the suprnova.org torrent.
The Future of Human Evolution: Autonomy
It has nothing to do with the client or the protocol, it's just TCP at work. If you saturate your upstream bandwidth, your downstream bandwidth will suck because the ACKs don't get through. This is true of anything. If you saturate your outgoing bandwidth with a bunch of ftp connections, a completely unrelated HTTP download will be slow. Since it's very difficult to come up with a reasonable guess as to your available upstream bandwidth, the default install can't really prevent this from happening without some external help, either from a traffic shaper or from you typing in a number for a throttle.
