-------- Since my last post two days ago, I have improved the language support and the OOo user interface. knoppix lang=nl Dutch knoppix lang=fr French knoppix lang=de German knoppix lang=it Italian knoppix lang=nb Norwegian bokmal knoppix lang=nn Norwegian nynorsk knoppix lang=se Northern Sami Typing in one of the indicated boot options knoppix lang=XX gives you the corresponding language. The default language is as previously Norwegian bokmal. Notice that lang=se is NOT Swedish. As usual with Knoppix, type F2 for help. skoleknoppix-2004-02-12 is based on KNOPPIX-2004-02-09 ------------------------------------------------------ People are going to Brussels soon, and although they can of course carry laptops, I thought it would be nice if they also had some live CDs to give away. What I want from you, the first generation of testers, is bug reports and complaints. skolelinux is Debian stable, and skoleknoppix is (mostly) Debian unstable. It is not really possible for them to be identical, but they should be as similar as possible. Any comments or complaints should get back to me by this weekend, so that I can incorporate the ideas and re-release as soon as possible. What is the value of this CD? ----------------------------- - XFree86 4.3 - KDE 3.1.5 - OpenOffice.org 1.1 Hardware detection and support is provided by Knoppix, and it should therefore be excellent. One way of thinking about this CD is that it gives a look at what skolelinux might be in the not-so-distant future. A Debian stable version of KDE 3.2 already exists, as does a stable version of XFree86 4.3, although neither of these can yet be found within the official body of Debian. Language Support ---------------- My original hope had been to include all of the European languages on this CD, but the combination of KDE 3.1.5 and OpenOffice.org 1.1 was too overwhelming. :-( Following the suggestion of cobaco, I have included languages relevant to the Brussels region, namely Dutch, French, German, and Italian. There is still an open question how I should include the other European languages. As I perceive it, there are two reasonable options: 1) make 2 CDs: skoleknoppix-north and skoleknoppix-south 2) make a live DVD If anybody has opinions, let me hear them! Bugs/Errors I have seen already ------------------------------- I get warnings when I boot with knoppix alsa. solfege does not work, and complains about the kernel. I suspect that the newer Knoppix kernel has a flaw, or that there is some problem with Knoppix alsa. The worst case scenario is that I go back to the kernel from the previous Knoppix, where solfege was working, and alsa gave no warnings. The version of the CD released two days ago had some problems with the OpenOffice.org user interface, but these are fixed now. ------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
