Dear Klaus,
I was using the 64 bit kernel with "toram". It started up fine, but,
suspiciously, the system believed it had the same amount of memory free
with and without "toram": The same memory-hungry operations would work
fine w/o "toram", but with "toram" the system soon crashed. This was
probably 6.4.4 or 6.7.0, but I'm not sure. In any case, unless you
deliberately fixed this problem, it's probably still in there.
Best regards,
Andrew

Hello,
Just remember to use "knoppix64 toram" for the DVD version, if you want
to copy the entire 4.1 GB into your ramdisk, since the "knoppix" keyword
would be the 32bit kernel, which can't handle memory addressing larger
than 4GB.
Regards

Are you aware of the 'toram' cheatcode? Copies Knoppix to RAM and runs
it from there.
I note that this is one of the advantages of the CD version over DVD -
being smaller, you can use 'toram' on computers that don't have huge
amounts of RAM, such as older machines that many of us still mantain,
and copying to RAM doesn't take long so it is feasible to use it this
way routinely.

I echo Jim for the latest release.
Wanted to ask: Is there a way to increase the
speed?
One way I have been thinking of applies to
systems with lots of ram - like 32GB and higher.
What I was thinking of is to loadthe whole
system into a carved out chunk of ram (ramdisk)
and mount the ramdisk as /
What do you think of that idea?

Klaus,
Thank you for the new releases.
Jim
one of the features of Knoppix is to load the
entire system onto a hard disk location. This
will in some cases speed up running time.
True - but the benefit of a live DVD disappears.
What benefit is that?
After you reboot, there is no history left anywhere on
DVD or on RAM disk.
Ponder that carefully.
