Introducing KNOPPIX version 5.0
With 5.0 KNOPPIX moves from a "Live
Distribution" to being a "Full Distrobution". The KNOPPIX 5.0 Live DVD
contains some major changes in the
unionfs-based file system, new hardware detection and
autoconfiguration, and a more "genuine Debian" oriented selection of
packages. Apart from this, the harddisk install option ("knoppix-installer")
has been extended by Martin Öhler, based on the work of Fabian
Franz,
featuring a "live update" of specific packages from a new version of
the live DVD or CD.
Knoppix 5.0 has not yet been released
to the general public. The first release of Knoppix 5.0 was exclusively
available as a free pressed DVD on CeBIT, at the KNOPPER.NET booth
(University of applied sciences Zweibrücken, Hall 9, booth
C39/31) and
at the Heise booth (Hall 5, E38).
KNOPPIX
can be used as a productive Linux system for the desktop, educational
DVD, 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 DVD can have over
8GB of executable software installed on
it.
