The font is very hard to read in the English version, and the viewer provided with the live CD fails when I try to zoom.

Titel: RE: Kanotix Manual discussion thread
At the moment I am still using Kanotix 2005-02 HD-Install because of problems with 2005-04. I have no problem reading it in KPDF. But why don't you make a print out? Thats why we have a pdf with a serifs font.

If someone wants to create a good-looking html-site, feel free to do it. I can send you the OO-file.

Simply exporting to html from OO looks rather ugly, the german version was made with lyx.(Its easier to export from latex to html by preserving layout/formatting). OO was used to make it easier for contributors to edit and translate. Unfortunately its not possible to upload the OO-file here and the wiki download page is broken

WoW .. Downloaded this and gave it a fast read. Well written and a lot of information that doesn't always get put in the same place -- this WILL get printed out as a valuable reference source.

Your work is highly appreciated. Thanks very much!

Chapter 4.5.2. Firewalls

Kanotix 2005-4 comes along with "firestarter" if I remember correctly. This should be added in order not confuse new users. This makes additional firewalls abundant.

---------------
Chapter 4.5.3 Antivirus tools

There is currently no KlamAV Debian package. So the information is useless (applies to some other apps too).

Adding a KDE f-prot enhancement as information might be useful for users who don't want KlamAV or something else. Here is the link:
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=17808
Anyway, the information how to update f-prot should in this case also be added.
Code:
su
passwd
update-f-prot
exit

-------------
Chapter 5.3 Installation of a new Kanotix version while keeping the
system configuration: Update-­Installation

"YYYYMMDD­HHMM.txt which can be used to reinstall all packa
the update installation:
apt­get install $(</root/old­packages­YYYYMMDD­HHMM.txt)
"

Here should an example be added since several uses don't understand the syntax.

Haven't found it.

Well, its very difficult to keep track of packages, which are no more or not yet available. But I will add avscan (in the german version, maybe Vasco will add it in the english version too).

Thank you for the link. I didn't know that such a tool exists.

I think to update virus signature files, you need to execute /usr/local/f-prot/tools/check-updates.pl?

Should be adopted from german version.

devil,

i still don't know the reason for this problems. The log file tells me that there are a lot of non-DE visits. Anyway, i have changed somehing. So please try again, it should work now. If not, see you in the german manual discussion thread Sehr glücklich

BTW: The direct links to the manual versions are posted in Tobi's sig. In the next versions, there will be a direct link to the other language.

Hi Tobi. Firestarter is found here (in 2005-04) in the Kmenu under Debian/apps/net.

nice work; something which is missing IMHO is something on grub options (you often have to fix menu.lst after an installation) and something that I was looking for: how to backup the entire linux installation.
A question: how can you save a list of installed packages? Via KPAckage?

Titel: Kanotix French Manual
Hi,

I just finished the first release of a french version of kanotix manual ;

I slightly modified the structure of the original german files : the index is now index.html and not kanotix_manual.html anymore ;

They are more explanations about IDE harddisks connexion than in the version I put online the 8th of august.

Above all I gave a try to the separation between a print and a screen css.
Critics , corrections, aso are still very welcome.

The online version at :

http://clampin.free.fr/kanotix/manual/

The "archive" versions are available at :

http://clampin.free.fr/spip/article.php?id_article=6

..to be continued...

Thanks for your ongoing support and work for Kanotix!
I have adapted to link in our main web site navigation to point directly there if French is selected.

I am thinking about to install kanotix instead kubuntu... so, I am searching things about kanotix, reviews, documentation, etc...

This manual will be/is included in the kanotix cd?

(btw, do you think that is better to install/use a kanotix instead kubuntu?)

well the last previews didn't contain the manual as kano is always fighting against missing place on the CD.

Anyway it can be easily found, so I dont think it will have a chance to go into the CD.

if one thought the other way, why do you think he would remain here?
