| subject: | knoppix 5.1 released w full NTFS read/write support |
From: "Rich Gauszka" Unfortunately I have an Intel 965 chipset mb and get the dreaded "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem" trying to boot it as so many other 965 owners have experienced. http://www.knoppix.com/ Update to Debian etch/testing as base distribution Linux Kernel 2.6.19(.1) + fuse 2.6.1 cloop 2.05 Realtime Decompression with extended block-buffering for reduction of CD/DVD access latency Replacing unionfs by aufs for better stability & performance KDE 3.5.5 OpenOffice 2.1 ntfs-3g (12.12.2006) for full transparent NTFS write support, also tested with boot options knoppix tohd= and knoppix fromhd=. Please note the hints about ntfs-3g below. ntfsprogs-Update (ntfsresize, ntfsmount, ntfsfix) integration of 3D desktop beryl+emerald as add-on for KDE (manual start with gnome is also possible), via boot option knoppix desktop=beryl. Please note the hints given below. Experimental script for creating a bootable flash-pendrive from a running KNOPPIX live session (mkbootdev by Martin ntfs-3g NTFS-3G allows writing to NTFS partitions with almost no restrictions. Being based on the Linux-NTFS project, NTFS-3G has been successfully tested as "Filesystem-In-Userspace"-plugin in many installaions, and is also being used for GNU/Linux-based virus scanners like "Knoppicillin". Like with all dynamically ram-buffered filesystems, there are some things to be aware of when using NTFS-3G as well. If you access filesystems in write mode, you should not just "switch off" the computer, or hit the reset switch, because there CAN be loss of data this way. If files have been written to disk, you should end KNOPPIX (when you decided to finish your session) by a regular shutdown using the menu, which will be acknowledged by the CD or DVD being ejected. (We just mention this here because NTFS has meanwhile become very widespread, and if, for example, the "Knoppix persistent image" option is active, or you are using swapfiles on NTFS, there will be wrie access to your harddisk. When not using these options, Knoppix will normally NOT write anthing to harddisk unless explicitly requested!) --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-5* Origin: Barktopia BBS Site http://HarborWebs.com:8081 (1:379/45) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 5030/786 @PATH: 379/45 1 633/267 |
