Анонсирован новый релиз одного из самых популярных и старейших LiveCD KNOPPIX 5.3.1 — дистрибутива, основанного на Debian (testing+unstable), не требующего установки на жесткий диск и загружающегося прямо с CD или DVD.
Изменения этой версии:
- 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 https://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;
Новый релиз включает в себя Linux Kernel 2.6.24.4, KDE 3.5.9, Compiz Fusion 0.7.3, OpenOffice 2.3.1 и множество других приложений для повседневного использования. Также имеется экспериментальная поддержка KDE 4.
