Re: etch RC1 installer
I must add to my email of the past few minutes that
even on my debian-like pivot_root install of knoppix
5.0.1 I had to install libmotif3_2.2.3-1.5_i386.deb to
get my molecular mechanics package working (openGL).
Surely knoppix 5.0.1 has nvidia acceleration.
However, take my information as from a non-expert,
though, no doubt, the graphics of my application is in
openGL.
cheers
