Knoppix V5.3.1 has been released
>> Knoppix V5.3.1
| KNOPPIX is a bootable CD or DVD with a collection of GNU/Linux software, automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals. KNOPPIX can be used as a productive Linux desktop, educational CD, rescue system, or adapted and used as a platform for commercial software product demos. It is not necessary to install anything on a hard disk. Due to on-the-fly decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software installed on it. (over 8 GB on the DVD "Maxi" edition).
Change log: - Dist-upgrade to Debian/lenny (testing+unstable) - Changed initial boot system from initrd to initramfs for easier customization - Kernel 2.6.24.4 with custom modules: gspca, qemu, kvm, virtualbox, ndiswrapper, avm (untested) - Updated wifi drivers and firmware for ipw* - compiz 3D windowmanager 0.7.3 with experimental compiz-fusion modules, compiz will start automatically if hardware detection recognizes the needed features of graphics adapters, use "no3d" or "3d" bot option to disable or enforce compiz - KDE 3.5.9, KDE 4.0 as experimental bootoption - ADRIANE, Audio Desktop with text-to-speech and braille support, first release (not fully complete yet), bootoption "adriane", see http://knopper.net/knoppix-adriane/index-en.html. Known bug: even theenglish version talks in german, this can be fixed by removing all the language-related lines in /etc/adriane/adriane.conf, and restarting the screenreader with "adriane-screenreader" from the shell. - cloop 2.624 realtime decompression with threads and experimental "suspend" feature - OpenOffice 2.3.1 - Virtualbox OSE edition - Orca as screenreader for GTK+ programs, use "startorca soffice" for a try (in case of tiing problems with orca being to slow, try "startorca" again without parameters) - Updated harddisk-installer "0wn" ("zero work needed") - Updated ntfs-3g with "visible alternate data streams" extension (to discover files in other files, mount option streams_interface=visible) - Lots of updates. |
