Re: Knoppix boot vs debian boot
Well, I (horrors!) did the Knoppix HD installation. The HW detection is somewhat different but works fine. I had to manually set up my ADSL (the modem did not support PPPoE) and my sound cards were misdetected so I manually set up ALSA. But it was a good beginning. I have since upgraded off Debian unstable, running fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Knoppix boot vs debian boot
Hi, long time Debian user, I often use Knoppix for rescue and test operations. There are things that makes the Knoppix boot lean and clean, e.g. the hardware autodetection, etc... But I don't have that on my unstable boxes. So I am wondering if it's a Knoppix special feature or if I don't have installed the required packages or configured them correctly.

Is there some sound magic going on in the knoppix system that might be helpful? -- Cheers, .~. /V\ // \\ /( )\ ^`~ยด^ hugge -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Knoppix has its own system to find hardware, but if you use unstable with kernel 2.6, hotplug should be able do find most of your hardwareas well and load the necessary drivers. Maybe you also want to take a look at discover or discover1. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

When you copy the Knoppix system you don't get that anymore and those tricks are not in the Debian system. Porting them?

Debian does have autodetection for sound cards, if you install Sarge. discover1 and hotplug both should be able to load the drivers. The main problem was that until recently, ALSA did not work properly because hotpug and discover loaded the OSS drivers first. This problem has been solved in the latest versione of alsa-base and discover1. All you need to do is to install alsa-base, alsa-oss and alsautils, unmute the card and make sure you are in the audio group. If you want to use the OSS drivers, hotplug or discover1 should be able to load them as long as the alsa-base package is not installed. If you use Woody, make sure your kernel is not too old to support your card. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
