KNOPPIX 7.4.2 发布

jopen 10年前

KNOPPIX是一张可启动光盘,上面收集了一些GNU/Linux软件,并集成了自动硬件识别以及对许多图形显示卡、声卡、SCSI和USB设备以及其 他外围设备的支持。KNOPPIX可以用于Linux演示、教学光盘、应急系统,或者被用来作为商用软件产品的演示平台。没有必要将所有的东西都安装在硬 盘上。得益于其on-the-fly的解压缩技术,这张光盘上最多可以集成2 GB的可执行软件。

  • Version 7.4.2 of KNOPPIX is based on the usual picks from Debian stable (wheezy) and newer Desktop packages from Debian/testing and Debian/unstable (jessie). It uses kernel 3.16.3 and xorg 7.7 (core 1.16.1) for supporting current computer hardware.
  • In addition to the 32bit standard kernel, the 64bit version of the same kernel is installed on the DVD edition, supporting systems with more than 4GB of RAM and chroot to 64-bit installations for system rescue tasks. In the DVD version, the bootloader will start the 64bit kernel automatically if a 64bit-capable CPU is detected (if not manually specified otherwise).
