Knoppix 5

Posted on October 17, 2006 by Arthur

To celebrate Knoppix in 1024x768the 289128280th cakeday, I decided to load up Knoppix on the P100 laptop.

There were a couple of issues, right at startup (where I had to add a couple of commands to skip the ACPI functionality). After detecting everything nicely, I was presented with a 1024×768 resolution, instead of the preferred 1440 one. Bummer.

For the rest everything seems to be working, including networking and sound (for a change: see earlier Ubuntu live-CD experience).

    You’re better off using VMWare.

    Yeah. I had that installed too earlier… Is that actually workable?

    Yah, they should run fine under VMWare player – on Core Duo is fast enough.
    Take a look at this before: http://www.easyvmx.com/

    Oh, use Bridged networking.
    Really we use several virtual machines at once on our work.

    Those are fricking amazing colourful pictures there in fotoboek. It must be the lens.

    I could have said that you’re cute, but I don’t think you want to hear that from your twin.
