Knoppix 6.5: Thank you ! How to compile/run 64 bits code ? Improvement suggestions.
Re-post since I did not get any reply with my previous post...
Hi Klaus,
I finally got my hands on your latest version of Knoppix 6.5 (a
friend shipped me the Linux Magazine from UK)
and again you have done a fantastic and amazing job; thank you very
much for continuing the Knoppix development !
I now have a couple of questions and suggestions for improvements:
1) How do you compile and run 64 bits code ? (after using "knoppix64"
as a boot parameter)
2) Could you please consider removing the legacy support in the the
64 bits kernel for speed improvement ?
3) Could you please compile the kernel to allow for more than 8 cloop files ?
4) Could you please compile the kernel to allow for more than 8
processor cores ? (the i7-980X has 12 and more are coming soon)
5) How to change (or restore) a soft link date/time ? (to create an
exact replication of a file tree, cp, tar, rsync do not work, is this a bug ?)
When is the next version available for download ? (not everybody have
access to Linux Magazine)
If you are interested I have customized the init boot script and
minirt.gz to add functionalities suh as:
boot from iso on hdd (for speed), pxe boot from iso on a samba or nfs
share, data persistence stored in a partition,...
How can I help you ? Thank you very much,
Gilles van Ruymbeke
