new Knoppix version optimized for distant learning?

[szzsqing1]

Knoppix is not 64bit OS, it is a 32bit OS. Although some commands shows that it is:

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ lscpu | grep Architecture
Architecture:        x86_64
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ uname -a
Linux unknown 5.3.5-64 #16 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 23 02:08:38 CEST 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ arch
x86_64
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$

But the above results are false, maybe because "knoppix64" is also a "false" 64bit mode. Its role is only (if I am well informed) to support big size memories. The "truth":

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ file /sbin/init/
sbin/init: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=63e36b249ae01d0a8b4af3ae2689bd5463b86bdb, stripped
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ dpkg --print-architecture 
i386
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ getconf LONG_BIT
32
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$

So, do not try to install 64bit applications, it is impossible in Knoppix. And MS Teams has only 64bit installer. Unfortunately, more and more applications have only 64bit installers nowdays...
But even for a 32bit package, it is not 100% sure that you can install it, because Knoppix is made up from more Debian versions, and could be a conflict with a new app install. I recommend to install a new app first in live mode and if it was OK you can install it in persistence mode.

RPM: Knoppix is based on Debian, you have to use DEB packages for installation. RPM packages are for other distros (e.g. OpenSuse).

Softwares: Debian/Knoppix has a lot of apps. I do not use "distant learning and conferencing" apps, but should be there such applications, too. Before trying to install something in Knoppix make sure that it has not an app that can accomplish what you want. It is very likely that such software is already installed there...
