Greetings Werner & kl522
I've got my new Knoppix 6.7 LiveUSB running.
Kernel is 2.6.39.3 #21; desktop background is new; Chromium replaces IceWeasel.
adriane not on menu, but lots of /user/bin/adriane components.
mis-behaving aumixer applet on my install. Flash not working for my Chromium; is for IceWeasel.
otherwise much like old-faithful 6.4.4. Was hoping for a built-in re-mastering option.
CD version really fills a CD with 730.7 Mb.

ps
Knoppix 6.7 still uses networkmanager, but now goes from start-of-boot to wifi-on-line in 52 seconds.
Best in this regard of any LiveUSB I know of.

It fits on a standard 700 MB CD-R (which may contain up to 737280 bytes). Flash should work OK if installed via the flashplugin-nonfree Debian package, though you have to enable the plugin in Chromium on a per-page base (click on the icon in the address bar).

Greetings, Herr Knopper.
I've discovered most of what I didn't know at first about Knoppix 6.7.
It is really a nice distro, and even an improvement over 6.4.4.
It is the only distro that anticipates (both) my laptop's display & wifi.
I do have some second thoughts, however:
1..Chromium seems like a backward step, relative fo Firefox 5.
2..It would be nice if there were a LibreOffice Lite, that just gave us
...calc and write, say for 2/3 the Mbs of the all-up suite.
3..I'd like to see a remastering menu item ala PCLinuxOS that would
facilitate remastering for the intellectually challenged.
Best Regards.

May I know why you think so?

I may have to do this sooner or later, since space is tight on the CD.
However, it will not save too much space, since the largest part is the Libreoffice core.

What should a remastering menu do, exactly?
Just adding your own packages should be fairly easy, using the overlay feature in an USB installation. Rebuilding the compressed part, on the other hand, is surely not a beginners task, and I don't think this can be done easily with just a few clicks.

Welcome to Knoppix forum. I am particular amused by Klaus Knopper coming to this forum who is registered since 2002 but the status is a junior member. This forum is particularly hostile to new comers due to anti-spamming measures.
