Update on Update
I have downloaded Knoppix Cd 7.0.3 and installed it on my old hard disk with a new Graphic card without any problem.
It took only six minutes.
I had prepared 20 GiB rersersf partition (always reserved for it) and the swap partition as the first partition and the second one for Knoppix.
This saves time for Knoppix searching/looking for a suitable partition.
I do not think I need to wait for the DVD download to report and update on Knoppix.
It has two desktops.
All the utilities are in the FOLDER on the top of the left hand corner.
Good luck in your own installation.
Mind you it give an opportunity for root pasword too.
Make sure one has a root password.
As I mentioned in an earlier blog, Knoppix 7.0.1 had some problem with Hard disk installation and I managed to Install with Genome Desktop and it is a pretty good updated version.
I received the Linux Magazine last week with Fedora 17 and did not bother to read the magazine or test Fedora (Unfortunately Install only), since I was more keen in finishing my book (Code named Teeny Weeny Linux), Tiny Linux distributions and their Utility value. It is now available in digital (I have priced it higher than the print form deliberately) and print form.
Strangely enough, Linux guys and girls do more to recover Microsoft not booting than the Microsoft trained guys/girls.
Then when I got a little time to read the magazine, it was obvious that even the Knoppix that came with April Edition had manufacturing defect.They are replacing the CD free of charge if you happen to be one of them.
Fortunately my subscription was from MAY and not on April.
Linux Magazine is a very nice one to have.
Reason for me subscribing the magazine is to cut my electricity bill in Sri-Lanka (because of the slow download have to keep my computers running 24/7 schedule sometimes) for one month is enough to cover 12 DVDs and the magazine for one year.
I am currently downloading Knoppix 7.0.3 and a few more CD/DVDs for testing and at the end of this month I will stop this to save time and money.
So you won´t here any more updates from me.
Sorry, guys and girls for that but the ranting will go on till I can find the keys in the keyboard.
Currently there are only 3 seeders and it will take twp full days to download.
So please join the Linux tracker and download it and keep your computer running for others to make use of the image you have downloaded and speed up the things.
Point to point download broke three time in mid air and unless it is a small file like Deli Linux (80 MB) do not try point to point.
If you happen to download it test it for integrity and make some copies and share with your friends.
This edition is a prety good one in spite ot the hard disk install glitches.
I hear Unite Airline has more glitches than Knoppix, Klaus and the Clan.
I also reported to the Magazine editor that when one search for Knoppix it goes to a nasty phonographic site and that has stopped after my reporting.
If that happens to you please report it to Klaus.
If one wants to knock somebody please do not use Linux or Knoppix for that act.
We do not have sex discrimination in Linux.

I am afraid I have to report to you that the Knoppix 7.0.3 DVD I downloaded from LinuxTracker still has the installation problems that I described (not CD) earlier. this time even the KDE did not work.
I hope Knoppix team will polish it and test it again before relasing the next DVD version.
THANK YOU boys and girls.
